A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Lights, camera, action!

I am well up for this and have routes well and truly logged in my noddle, pitch black or not.

I would say "Buddies or Bust" but participation on my part is subject to the usual weather proviso, albeit that I rather suspect the same applies all round (?).

Well the long range forecast has an overnight minimum of 15 degrees :P .

Pack your 'smugglers for a dawn dip.

I'm bailing on this. Looking at your rough timings I don't think I can keep up on an mtb, even if I stick a rocket pack on me back. As for my cateye single shot, well......

Have a great ride

[quote="Jon Hemming"]Well spotted Tim. 45 minutes does seem a bit ambitious. I'd have thought an hour would be nearer the mark.


I was just using 45 minutes as a guide so that I didn't miss the "train" as it went past. By all means take an hour (or longer) if you wish. See you there.

You're missing Dominic, Ivor, and Jon - the first ones to say yay. Possibly Rob R-E.

(No showers on the forecast I'm looking at(metcheck), could always be one though if it remains this humid all week). Remember it's Saturday's forecast you need to look at Mark :D .

The last time I rode through the night was years ago and I still remember the foxes slinking along the tops of wall and the glorious sun rise .Enjoy Enjoy I'll be with you all in spirit.
