Adam all things being well I will meet you on Shooters Hill at the traffic lights with Well Hall/Academy Road if that is ok?.

If you are going to be at Greenwich for 08.40 then I will ensure I am at this point at a similar time. I will PM you my mobile number

Hope the rest of the ride goes well!!

Sorry guys, but neither I found meeting place in Rochester nor local people knew where it is ... I also didn't see any crowd of cyclists.

The good thign is - in Sittingbourne High Street I was cought by police woman (ok, it's a joke a little bit) and she offered to mark my bicycle So I had nothing to do and my bike was marked.

It's here

Sorry about my early bail - a late one last night and grey skies today have kidnapped by cycling mojo. Still haven't found it back in Chiswick. Hope the ride goes well.

I have just popped into work, but I can promise tales of 'one mother' of a headwind for most of the ride, accompanied by grey skies. As it was one of Adam's Rides, it was "mostly downhill" - except for the bits that tilted the other way Oh. And there was Barry from Eastenders. Matt loves Barry.
It was all a bit of a scramble at the end and I hope all destinations were attained without too much ado. More later - I'm off for a nice ride past Wembley Stadium!

Well that was a great ride but very hard work at times with the wind. Grateful thanks to those who gave me their wheel to suck. I hope I didn't hold you guys up too much ! Thanks to Adam for organising this. The food was great too. No doubt someone will post a picture of my giant breakfast! Just going to run a nice hot bath!

And still the f ing wind is blowing! I heard a cheer as I turned onto the Edgware Road and assumed that United had just gone five up... 124 miles of putting up with my windswept locks averting the wind, Louise!
The forecast for the forthcoming two days is poor, and deteriorating toward the end of the week. This is obviously not true, and I'll be dropping a line to Barry, of East Enders fame re: this matter as it is serial bad weather.
