England : London Sunday London Ride for Food + TofB- September 9th

Can't get a pass for that Lahndahn on Sunday on account of n+1 in last 24 hours

Recce done. Dry and dusty, lots of fine gravel but no mud. Flat except for a couple of sudden spikes. Very pretty, lots of dogs and a giant dog poo sculpture. I think it's a sculpture, or I wouldn't argue with the dog.

Yebbut shirley you need to carry out a test ride?

 

[wanda2010]

Will be hungover, otherwise I'd be there. Hope the weather gods are kind.

The test ride will be Velo South. All other rides on it prior to that are merely mere preambles.

Nonsense. Just bring more beer with you

I won't be heading back to Trafalgar Square with you lot.

I'll be out in Orpington, staying at my friend's mum's house. Can't be too hungover that I disgrace myself, but I do plan to be quite 'relaxed'.

Big thanks to Nick for organising this, both the company and route were fun.

Thanks to Greg to getting me back to central London.

Also by the time I had a coffee stop I was only 6km short of a metric ton, so did a very small loop and got it. First metric ton in nearly 2 years.!

 

[Nick Saddlesore]

After the various discussions that we should be going in the opposite direction (nothing to do with my mapping), I took my usual route home down Richmond Road. Just as the Hackney Carnival came up Richmond Road...

Thanks Nick for a great ride, as always great company. Learnt a couple of new routes around town which is always handy to know. I was pre-warned about the Hackney Carnival so I did a little detour around it. 66 miles for me, feet up with a cold beer now, here's to the next one

Great ride but a long day pedaling!
