I've ridden it 8 times over the last 12 years, sometimes with my sons ,sometimes with friends and twice solo except for the hundreds of others, if you get my drift. The London traffic is for me, challenging until Epping, thereafter as the night draws in and the rural Essex roads are reached, the ride eventually becomes eerily quiet. The pitch black roads are punctuated by brightly lit country pubs offering both beer and burgers. Later in the ride pop up snack waggons and enterprising people villagers offer refreshments.
I'm not bored with it yet, as each ride experience changes with the company, weather and my level of fitness make each ride unique.
I'd recommend it.
