Ride London 100

I got 2.13 for the 46, started in the penultimate group for the day and it was very very relaxed, I'm sure the polar opposite of what some of you experienced early morning.
Absolutely loved it, the experience of riding through London without traffic and stoppages is priceless!
Saw one of you sporting a LFGSS jersey at the finishline but nobody on fixed.

Oh and my time? Thanks for asking! Garmin has it at 5h22m including 3 stops. First 40 miles was over 20mph

That's a cracking time fixed, well over ThNRC regulation pace.

Two bad crashes, pro ride paused, not going smoothly this year:

Going to nip up to Tibbett's Corner (top of Putney Hill) to watch the pro race go past in 45 minutes or so.

No point watching it from the end of my road (half way down Putney Hill) as they'll be doing 50mph or so down there...

I think the Ride 100 broke Strava: http://status.strava.com/

So, have a Garmin Connect link: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1281364033

and the official timings came in at 5h18m41s: http://results.prudentialridelondon.co.uk/2016/?content=detail&fpid=search&pid=search&idp=999999195DB36C000006026B&lang=EN_CAP&event=I&event_main_group=A&search%5Bstart_no%5D=41590&search%5Bsex%5D=%25&search%5Bnation%5D=%25&search_sort=name&search_event=I

BCC commentary can >>>>>

Hah! That was me! Pleased it got across ok as I thought it might've just seemed like I was shouting madly at you.

The guys who crashed near Ripley is ok, arm heavily bandaged but not broken and bad bruising but generally OK, Well enough to be back on facebook.!!!

Can G do it? Looks a long shot, perhaps Stannard to bridge before his group is caught?

Managed to squeeze out a 4:42 which is 30mins quicker than last year. All because I shaved my legs...

Saw one of the guys come off around Thames Ditton and go jaw first into a curb, looked like it could've been a been one of the air ambulance incidents.

Haha and Stannard attacks

Think they'll be caught

I saw a guy near Thames Ditton nursing a cut on his jaw. Dark jersey, was walking with a medical team member.. Smiling meekly

Cracking finish on the cards...Wouldn't mind seeing it on TV if they could sort the video!?

Bunch sprint on.

Bbc sort it out! I blame boris

Oh ffs

Boonen, impressive

Tommy b!

Fuck me, sort it out BBC.

Millar in another nob head hat

Was hoping that bus that appeared in the background down the finish straight joined in the sprint.

Well done Boonen. Smiles on the faces of coke dealers all across London!

He's a sack isn't he.

Just over 5 and a half hours on the tandem. Late start time was punitive.
