I remember that Southend ride...I was in the last contingent to get ferried across the Dartford crossing...we were frozen.
I also remember one when Steve was attempting to steal NSTN's banana (no that's not a euphemism). Not sure if that was the same ride but, thinking not as I recall being happy and warm then.
Gutted to realise I am fully booked next weekend from ages back. Dr Bike to do on Saturday morning in Deptford and our drop in workshop on Sunday. Very bad planning on my part. This is one reason, though, why my participation has lapsed. When you're involved in community bike stuff, a lot of that happens on a Saturday and Sunday. Must develop more proactive diary management skills.

Bognor. I Think.

Bognor. I Think.

If memory serves, I never had the pleasure of NSTN's company on a night ride- I think her last one was before I started. If I'm right, not Bognor.

Closing date will be Wednesday, when I need to finalise the catering arrangements.

It turns that I will be at the other end of the country after all, @Trickedem - so absent bilocation I won't be riding to Whitstable. I hope to find somewhere else to ride instead.

Have a great time, all - and wrap up warm.

The weather is looking a bit pants on Friday night.

Rain trousers or Rainlegs, I think!

@Trickedem any updates on start point etc?

Looks at weather. Strokes chin.

If you consider a bit of light rain and 6 degrees to be bad weather for a night ride in April you had better stay at home.
The forecast was like that for the Southend ride and it was an excellent night, a bit of rain at the start but dry after.

Now down to 3C but possibly dry until SMRbtH. Still stroking chin.

At the time of posting the forecast was for heavy rain on Friday night, the forecast for Saturday morning was not available the Met Office phone app. Looking at the main site it seems things have improved somewhat.

Edit: Precipitation probability is currently at 10% in the early hours of Saturday.

The update will be going out tomorrow. I am deliberately waiting because I want to see the forecast. Currently it looks to be cold, but hopefully most of the rain will have finished by midnight.
Current numbers are looking good, with over 60 registered.

Hopefully not too cold to breathe. I've been having a rattly lung week...

There's a certain ride to Llandudno happening at the other end of the country if you're looking for somewhere else to ride?

 

[User10571]

I'm out.
Work commitments prevent me from taking Friday off - which would mean a world of pain which I am not prepared to undergo.
Gutted.
I hope you all have a very fine ride.
The rain forecast?
No big deal. Really.
Pack your waterproofs and get on with it.
You'll live.
And have some fun!

I'll be at the other end of that country, too!
