Thanks a lot you guys especially Ian and Huw. A great work out, but still a real social ride. In fact, we happily chewed the fat on a broad range of topics: whales in the Thames, Big Brother, very very iffy cyling gear (no names :!) and how to dispose of two egg sandwiches...As Ian mentioned there was a split in the group quite early on mainly caused by out of the saddle 'honking' from the guy on a fixie. Indeed, this pretty much set the tone for the front group and the pace remained quite lively throughout the ride. After Mr fixie had turned off there were at least four guys regularly willing to go up front and set the pace. So 'hats off' must go to impressive efforts from Huw, a supa-dupa strong Graham O, Chris (lovely carbon Look bike!) and of course Kevin (ouch my back, but hey I can still fly up those hills!). I thought I'd try and save some energy for tomorrow - mmm I'll let you know. For those who are interested I left Highbury at 7.50am this morning and returned just before it got dark at 4pm. Are my legs sore? Was there a whale in the town yesterday? take care, dudes
