was great meeting everybody at the pub in the park. i set of with a non-forum-but-fixed-friend i rode together last year. past by RPM and the stag party in Epping Forest, they seemed to have taken a different route out London and ended up climbing up Chigwell to High Road. RPM i am looking forward to the full ride report.
once off the main road after Epping riding was very enjoyable. at that point i was still fiddling around with the gps but jam jars helped the navigation. with 20 miles to go to the feeding station it was finally doing its job. got there around 00:30, pretty roady laden setting at that point. Spotted Roberto, MA3K, Emil at the feeding station.
Went on as team of two and tried for 30min to close the gap to a group of 8-10 riders in front of us. Sat in the pock for a while till they decided to take a different turn, was not to saddened to loose them as there it was a bit of chain gang. Went all pretty smooth with no navigational hick-ups. 3 more riders joined and we made it to the Flora Tearooms just after 4:30. chatted with Roberto, before he took off to Ipswich. followed a little later on which was probably the most tiring part of the ride.
well done to everyone and i agree: a better turnout is expected for next year.
