First 13 miles was great. Thanks for your concern Leni, and yes thanks I managed it home Gerald. I was using an inappropriate BB (still never sorted this grrr) and it decided to shift when I hopped down a curb, thus inner ring started fouling my chain stay (it was where we came upon a crashed Prius and a slightly drunk looking driver being detained by armed police! mad looking crash that). From there to Tower Bridge, everyone bombing along and me going slow, managed to catch up at Tower Bridge when you talked to a copper there, only for everyone to hop back on and bomb away whilst I was trying to work out what was going wrong.... Scrape scrape scrape for two miles home, my lovely Mercian paintjob being scraped off. :( Doh.
Hope the guy was trailing there caught up, he mentioned having 'too bad asthma' for the pace. It really was quite pacey!
