Yes I was a doubter but I saw the light and turned up anyway. Very glad I did, it was a gas, great ride, great pace and great company.
Must put my hands up to my part in the "follow the blue lines" navigation fail but watching it on telly later on I noticed the runners mostly use the wrong side of the road so by riding on the left towards the canary wharf we were always going to be sent the wrong way round the island.
Was amazed by how most of the police and stewards were all smiles waves and good-mornings, with a couple of notable exceptions, particularly the city of london police.
I've got a couple of pics of the group stopped up during a route discussion, I'll post them as soon as I can get the camera, it's lead, a computer and my head all in the same place at the same time.
