Started out with all good intentions and plans to get there early and have a gentle saunter of a ride down to Pimlico. What actually happened is I set off late, forgot my tools/spare tube etc so turned back, then realised I'd also forgotten water bottle, hip flask, door keys and map to find the start. I now had 45 mins to get from Southgate to Pimlico - so it was a flat out blast and I arrived bathed in a very un-gentlemanly sweat!
However, on the upside, the weather was just brilliant, the company was great and the organisation was top-hole! Well done Teddy and the rest of the gang.
Highlights of the day:
The weather,
didn't see anyone get a flat,
tea out of china cups and sandwiches with the crusts cut off,
fab G&T at the finish - served from the back of a vintage Rover 90,
and most of all, spending the whole day with a smile on my face.
NB. just found some cucumber sandwich squished into the tread of my shoes. I might keap it as a momento.
