(No-)Bike Night in Shanghai

Sina weather for Shandong cities here, and for Jiangsu cities here.

Also, try weather.com.cn.

And this has a very nice mouse-over function. Try it!

cheers!

Hey Pete, I'm usually using the Weather Channel app on my HTC, quite reliable throughout the round-China trip.

As I texted you today unfortunately we will not be available with Celine this Friday, so I do not know where that leaves you in terms of the trip... Once again, do not do it only for us, and especially if the forecast is rainy : it would be miserable to ride on East China under the rain with all the traffic, believe me, I know...

As I told you, I know for sure I'll do one day a round-UK trip on a nice British twin, we'll see each other again for sure !

Cheers,

Fred

Well guys, are we on or not for a no-bike night in Shanghai tomorrow Wednesday 27 June? Nobody has replied to my proposed location (downtown Big Bamboo), so I have no clue.

So, show of hands, please!

And about timing, I noticed that the others were usually scheduled for 6:30ish, which works for me.

Sorry mate, count me out. The weather has stopped me from getting there before Fred goes but a ride down to SH may still be in the cards later this summer.

Apologies for the very tardy reply, but I too am unable to attend tonight. I know from experience that getting our Shanghai MCM members to a fixed place at a fixed time is challenging in the extreme, and regret that now I'm on the wrong side of the equation. We have more than 40 members in Shanghai alone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Warmest regards to any and all who attend tonight!

After 3 tries to edit this post, I hope this time it'll work !
Dipstick, I'm really sorry but could we meet later tonight, around 20:30, same place ? Tell me if it's convenient for you...
Jeff, don't sweat it, I'm pleased that we met last time !

Pete, I'll send you an email, and the pics too !

Fred, Jeff and I will be there at around 6:30 tonight and will likely still be around at 8:30. Personally, I plan to leave between 9:30 and 10.

Ok, we'll join you guys ASAP, hopefully before 20:30 !

I'm in the cab going home after the no-bike night in Shanghai and I wanted to be the first one to comment on the evening. Thank you so much guys for a wonderful time! There weren't many of us there but you made up in quality what we lacked in quantity! Jeff and Fred were there with their respective charming ladies. A real pleasure meeting you all. Fred, Céline, congratulations again on your 2 months ride across China and best of luck with your move back home. I wish we had met sooner! Jeff, Yvonne, I hope we can do this again and for Jeff best wishes for a prompt recovery. To all: ride on!
