As I'm trying to post things which are fun, rather than (to my shame)
participating in endless helmet threads, here's a bit of prior notice
about the Midsummer Madness ride.

For those of you who don't know it, for five years running cyclists have
been gathering in the dark and converging on Soho for coffee before riding
up Primrose Hill to see the sun rise.

I hadn't heard of this before but a work colleague was telling me the
other day about something like this. Probably was, in fact, this. Sounds
like fun - I'll see if I can make it.

I'd come along if I was in the vicinity, sounds like a hoot, maybe I
should organise a local equivalent.

I would love to do this and would've if I'd known about it when I lived
in London. As it is I might take an evening train up.

Shall have to add it to the acf calendar...

I've pencilled it (very lightly) into my diary. My sleep patterns will
already be totally buggered by then anyway. We'll have to see.
