When the sun had set we dispersed.

Some jumped on the train at Formby back to Liverpool. Others headed back the way we'd come, back along the coast.

I led some of us through Formby to pick up the Cheshire Lines path, for a night ride in the West Lancs countryside.

Back to Maghull, where half got the train - one to Ormskirk, others to Liverpool and the Wirral. And the remaining three cycleteers carried on back into Liverpool.

Hab's dann doch noch für 'ne kleine Nachttour zwischen Schlieren und Wipkingen der Limmat entlang #rausgeschafft. 15.6km bei angenehmen 12℃-14℃.

Der Werksscheinwerfer des #BromptonElectricGLine leuchtet unerwartet gut aus. Nur scheint eine Höhenverstellung gänzlich zu fehlen. Er hat auch ab Werk geblendet, aber meine Fahrradwerkstatt hat's zumindest soweit hinbekommen, dass er auf der Ebene grade nicht mehr blendet.

Out for a late in an attempt to salvage something from the evening after mostly failing at community management.

Happened to bump into a mate at the lights near the end of the ride, and had a good chat for a few sequences of green, so got home in a better frame of mind

Today's exciting discovery while working on the American Sign Museum book.

The 'nightrider' was a vehicle used by workers at Stalcup Neon in Kansas City, KS, to drive around iinspecting their signs for bulbs that needed replacing. It had a generator installed in the boot to power its own neon lights, but no air conditioning.

I can't say if this photo will be in the final publication, but the book is available for pre-order here: 48055.blackbaudhosting.com/480.

Clear skies on last night's meant it was a little chilly down on the river but meant we could do a little star- and planet-gazing too.

Got a bit of a workout on the front-loader delivery bike with soundsystem as I chased the electric lead soundsystem bike to stay in range of the transmitter up hills and round corners.

Friday's group social ride was just what I needed after a hard week; riding through the city playing tunes with a bunch of your mates is joyous!

Sadly I didn't have my camera with me, so didn't get the shot as we rode past the Liver Building where one of the couple of lads we'd collected en route passed me riding along a low wall while pulling a wheelie.

This photo is one my mate John Harris took, as we rode through Sefton Park

Friday evening was the next alternative cabaret clubnight, with this edition raising funds for Livv Housing employees striking in Knowsley.

Chris, one of the performers and a regular, arranged a group ride to get there; along with a mid-ride stop-off in St. James' Gardens for a performance poetry amuse-bouche.
