Sat 10th May - London to Cambridge

word to 50:14..

I did schedule a whole day for this - sure there were a few less beers by the river than if things had gone smoothly but it didn't matter. Getting lost is a great leveller of ability... Cornelius's injury took up ages before we were on the road again just because it happened a fair way back and some of us had shot ahead anticipating the end.. but if we hadn't all waited for him it would have been lamer than Corny himself to raise our fourth pints to various wounded soldiers as they finally made it through the pub doors...much better we got to Cambridge as one for a big showboat through the town..

all in all we still spent all day in the gorgeous sunshine and had pretty much the same experience to share at the end of it.

I've learned from experience that group rides always take longer than people expect them to.

And they laughed at me for bringing my lights...

Forum group rides take longer. Group rides are typically quicker :)

hippy you want to say that in the forun we are slow?

LOL

I think it was just under 80 miles in just over 5 hours of actual riding. I was gutted that I didn't have time to stop for beers once we arrived but the ride was real nice and there's something fantastic about the inclusive wait for everyoneness. That said I dread to think how long it would have taken without the organisation from Corny and the route finding from Andy and Claus!

forgot to say thanks to everyone for a great ride. looking forward to the next one!

maybe if the group is so big they should be split up into fast/medium/trundling groups?

For riding, no. For drinking, yes.

hippy you want to say that in the forun we are slow?

On the basis of the famed forum L2B.. yeah that's what I'm saying :)
7 p_nct_res was it? Something about hipsters and using dodgy tyres.. ;)

Hope the link works, and yes there all backwards way on.

Nice pictures Mike. I can't believe you came all the way from Hull to be there. I didn't realise until I read the post!

Nice one Mike. Think you'll get down for the next one?

Yeah, hopefully. Need as much notice as possible so I can book super cheapo train tickets.

Unfortunately I can't make tonight, but will try to make it down for the next day out or night ride possibly.

Hey great pics Mike. Was good fun riding and chatting with you, hope to see you down here again.
@ Mr Slamm, thanks again for a great vid and soundtrack to our rides.

I can't believe that no one spotted this...
