The times correspond roughly with current-day lighting up times for May. Presumably they are evening events involving biking home late?
Not sure about the last 3 times though.

Having looked at Humberstone Gate on Google Earth I think it may have been a pub and the white building on the corner of Charles Street might fit the bill. Can any of our Leicester members confirm my suspicions?

This is the weighing machine house on Humberstone Gate East. It's now an office for a taxi firm

I stand corrected. Glad to see that some part of Leicester's history is still standing. Quite a lot of Brum's history was pulled down in the name of "modernization" in the early 60's. Would be an exelent starting point for a club ride though, I can see why they used it.
