That was harder work than I expected.. although sinking a bucketload of piss and getting 3 hours sleep the night before doesn't really make for good ride prep.
Rode with Dov and Wiesia and Joe later on. Took a few wrong turns but enjoyed riding places I've not seen before - I've never been that far east on the river. St Katherines Dock(?) cobbles were my favourite as well as Garden Lane? They were a lot like the Ronde cobbles.
Probably 110-120k fixed by the end of the day. T'was a long day. Watch the broadcast in the pub afterwards and even won tyres for my troubles (thankfully not the pink ones).
Thanks again Dave and the other organisers (Nhatt) for creating the ride.
