Really really lush time lads, these kinds of events are very special - where else (other than Denmark) can you ride with a bunch of sweet fixies on a terryfingly long hilly scenic route.
Glad @cagimaha won the prize, he is the sole reason for ensuring I didn't quit after trying to follow @TTM wheel (think it was over 3.5x bodyweight watts/kg up toys hill until I blew up and was just like, what the hell man, you're not even sweating).
Thanks again @youramericanlover for organising, you are keeping the spirit of @clubman 1959 ride going, yesterday i suffered more than I have for recent memory, probably over a year, which was very welcome.
Very much looking forward to any similar future rides (hopefully with a renewed fitness, inevitably lighter bike and @Lucybee).

Very much this ^ - his good humour and encouragement hauled me up the bits I made and I think I'd have carried on down Toys if I hadn't started seeing stars on the way up!
Overall, I found the long upwards slog too hard at the pace set by the group, but the route was/is fantastic and the switchback of the ridges was glorious. I'm going to do it my own way soon (with some loooow gears). Thanks to @youramericanlover for organising the day.
And now I have to register with a GP and find out why my lungs seem to have been replaced with walnuts...

Super day out, so nice to have a proper forum ride. Thank you so much @youramericanlover for sorting.
I bonked badly on way home at Camberwell, luckily right next to a noodle buffet. Excellent way to end a HDIJ.
