but ma3k, what about the tradition.
if the ride is always east to west, then it means its just another ride/event that starts out east.
I live south so its going to take just as much time to go either east or west, but part of the beauty of the bridges ride is that it starts where the last one finished, therefore is impartial in a sense, well as impartial as any of our rides can be.
Doing a ride the same way everytime starts to bore after a while, and its only every other bridges ride which would start out west, how many times do we do the bridges ride, twice, three times a year?
Personally I'd prefer the ride to start out west,
a it would give people a bit of a run out of town to stretch their legs, see a different part of town
b a change is as good as a rest.
c there's a big green and pub out by kew bridge so you can do early bird drinking there if you so desire
d its tradition dagnammit, and as much as I love the run east to west, I also like and enjoy the run west to east.
