Well I hope your interview was worth it Harv cos' you missed one helluva ride!!!
As we pedalled out towards Addenbrookes we were joined by rank upon rank of betrack-framed MASH types with arrospok front wheels until we were stopping traffic in all three directions. We had to be given a police escort (or maybe it was a cortina - don't remember the details).
Everyone started trying to out-trick one another... some pulled no-handed double wheelies, others got their leg over [sic] while skidding, while one guy (dressed as a pirate for some reason) skidded the entire length of Trumpington High Street backwards while his parrot recited one of the Canterbury Tales (I forget which one... maybe the Wife of Bath??? but I digress) ... and best of all, nobody was wearing any bloody Rapha clothing (no, Harvey... not even a scarf)... it was awesome! Too bad you missed it.
