Had a fun night out with @princeperch as usual for our 6th or 7th I can't remember. Set off earlier than usual around 8.30 and sure enough ran into all the usual chain gangs caining it past. Think beckingham? was a club kit (orange/yellow) I remember fairly frequently coming past then stopping, then regrouping and riding all over the place. I don't really care if clubs want to come out and ride together, what I don't like is a group riding pretty fast and drafting right up behind me then swinging out at the last second 0.5cm away from my right shoulder. No need for that. I spoke to a few novice riders and they complained about this also.
Saw a few forumers like @howrad and my hero @Rodmunch a few times and obviously on his way coming back.
Had a good time drafting the lfgss tandem for a while. They were going at a very good sociable pace. Said thanks for pulling me along but I don't think it was appreciated by the stoker :-(
Thank god I got the coach and didn't ride to Ipswich again as I was beat. See you all again next year
