We got a little tipsy at the Old Mill in Plumstead. Riding home was a laugh, we followed the Thames Cycle Path back on the South Bank, around the Dome and past the old aggregate work yards.
Alex was perhaps a little more tipsy, or at least a little more reckless. After learning how to skid I think he forgot how to brake, and when we took a blind corner too fast and oncoming cyclists came into view I hit my front brake and shouted a warning "Slow!" to Alex and damnham behind me. Alex didn't really slow, he just flew into the side of me and lent on me to make the corner.
I don't know how we didn't end up in the dirt, or worse in the Thames. We made it another few miles to the pub for bangers and mash without further incident though.
