Rode the spiral ride solo this afternoon.
Got the train out to Sidcup and started at the station there.
My impressions:
It's a navigational mind fuck. Added an extra 5 or so km's on just going the wrong way then back tracking.
No sooner have you got up to speed than you're thwarted by traffic lights.
Feel like I've smoked a pack of 20.
Grass pyramids at Northolt and White Heart Lane were highlights.
Went past my house with 50 km's to go and felt like bailing.
Put the bib shorts on for the first time this spring and got some colour in my pasty legs.
Saw what I assume was the after match from the velodrome meet at a pub (can't remember which one).
Had a lie down on Clapham Common
London is FUCKING MASSIVE
Home now with a big bowl of macaroni cheese.
7:20:04 moving time with a 25.6kmph average moving speed.
