Rapha Festive 500: London to Cambridge and Back

Sorry, but I will also have to bail Hoke :(
Been sick all day and still have too much to do for baby's first Christmas.
Good luck on festive 500!

Pfffft

More mince pies for us dude!!

Fixed ya?

Yah! (with rapha saddle bag)

K see ya tommoz

I'll keep an eye out for you, I'll be doing Cambridge to saffron walden late morning

If you're still looking for a cafe, old bicycle shop is pretty good! Here atm.

Thanks duke, unfortunately we were tired and decided to go straight to pret near the station. It's going to be mental riding back home now...

A mental battle against taking the train home

Big thanks to Hoke and Howard for a great pre-Xmas blast. I took the bail-out-at-Cambridge lite option so am currently thoroughly enjoying a nice warm train carriage all to myself (strangely)... the possibilities are endless. Good ride back chaps...

Poor @HoKe isn't going to get a lot of shelter from you is he?

Bailed at Roydon - 105 fixeh miles is enough for my legs.

@hoke is pressing on alone - #pray4hoke

Respect. Even cycling back from Liv St to Brixton I was thinking I really wouldn't fancy that headwind all the way back from Cambridge 😳

#fap

That's a big day out. @HoKe 's will be a massive day out.

Kudos to both of you.

we just did 100 miles in essex, mad windy .. garmin fucked the route up so no blackmore tea rooms but had a pizza at franco manca on broadway market on the way back. First long ride where I didn't have a coffee and/or cake. Whole loaf of soreen tho.

Very impressive, I had to settle for some regents laps and as much as that tail wind would have been enjoyable I know I would have bailed at the station rather than face it head on! And fixed to boot? Mega strong.

Thanks. Beware everyone - @hoke is a beast and a cruel master!

Did you go past any groups today? I headed to those sides too

@hoke is alive - the prayers worked.

Bravo you two. Looked very windy today from the comfort of my parents living room.

Thanks for coming on the ride @Howard and @rab, it was nice to have some company riding to Cambridge and back.

Thanks @rab for also helping out the navigating as I'm still getting use to the stupid garmin navigation!
