Certainly an interesting experience - somehow very different riding in the dark in the Summer - perhaps you get used to it and expect it in the winter...
Shame about the weather - will have to do it again in better conditions.
Excellent write up from Mr
. Except i didn't get wet from the spray off the roads as I had mudguards!!!! A small consolation for riding my commuting bike.
I had to get home, change and drive up to Cambridge to pick up Ian and all his belongings, having finished his sojourn at uni, pack the car, go and have a meal (including a well deserved Peroni Gran Reserva) and drive home, then empty the car. Had a few drowsy moments but kept going until 11:00pm (23 hours awake - how do they ride 24's?????) when crashed out, although after a good sleep, woke at 7am with no alarm and was up all day Sunday as normal, although felt a bit tired, and still sluggish today on the bike.
