June's ride for food

[Aperitif]

no ballons Mart it was very quiet. You were dreaming. We we the only customers bar a couple having s snooze

Clive! And I so wanted to see you. Would you have been in winter gear, just in case?

Seriously, it's only a ride, Clive. Well done, particularly if you got back in time for housepoint purposes.

Maybe June did not want her photo taken?

Mrs Norm: Is that you cycling down the Long Walk?
Norm: No, dear, that's not allowed.
Mrs Norm: Is that your helmet hanging off your rucksack?
Norm: No, dear, that would be silly.
etc

I must remember to check over my shoulder before opening threads with ride photos.

Nice ride, nice food, nice beer.

Thanks everyone!

Got back to Croydon just after 6!

Small world out there it seems - good to bump into you yesterday on a fine day for riding. Sounds like the rest of your spin went well. Ours was a bit more ad hoc (ie didn't know where we were going). The original plan was Oxford, but we ended up red kite spotting on a loop out to Christmas Common via Henley then back to Marlow on one of the most scenic roads I've ever ridden. Eventually rode the canal back from Slough to Brentford - nice adrenaline buzz trying to keep some pace up and avoid an unexpected dip. Agreed on the headwind.

Great ride yesterday, thanks Ian and Norm! The weather was wonderful and even with suncreme added to my horrendous cyclist tan lines.

I did a lap of Regent's Park after leaving Ian just to ensure I got my 100. Total distance was just shy of 103 miles but unfortunately my Garmin has corrupted the file so no data until I've fixed it.

..... back to Marlow on one of the most scenic roads I've ever ridden.

That'll be via Medmenham, unless you went up via Harleyford. Either way it's a great area for riding.

Abs, you'll have to lose the socks next time.

and +1 on the photos, nice one Ian.

Oh, and Ian mention spizenergi and I was racking my brain for there hit.

LOL..
I got may weird named bands mixed up.
The band who did do "Hey Goth Eff Off" was Chaotic Dischord...

That'll be via Medmenham, unless you went up via Harleyford. Either way it's a great area for riding.

A little bit further North I think - via Northend, Turville & Fingest. As you say a great area for riding - wish I knew it better.

Great to put some faces to names, a lovely little ride (only ~25-30 miles for me cos I'm a local lad…) nice to catch a bit of 'not-quite-olympic' rowing action at Dorney, generally top marks all round.
