left at 8.50 and got there 4.40 in the morning just to see the sun rise; was quite a pace.
apparently six and a half hours actual riding time without stops.
After that stop in the cafe halfway the pace was up to something like 22-23mph, even uphills. Don't think we were ever overtaken at this point.
Brought the average speed over the entire ride (including slowly moving out of london) to 18.9pmh average :) Must've gone through about 2l of energy drinks and 3l of water
riding 30 more miles to ipswich in the rain in the morning wasn't exactly a treat.
73.3GI, brakeless fun fun fun. Makes it that much more exciting
