Great ride & good turnout, although due to getting rather lost around Canary Wharf I got caught out by the rain at the end.
Typical that I got a puncture, but at least it was right outside my front door!

Had a rather officious copper tell us we'd be arrested if we went along Tower Hill, so we just went under Fenchurch St and tried to rejoin it further along. A race official said there were wheelchair folk on the course and to be careful so we just went along parallel roads all the way up to the Strand. Rejoined at the Mall, and got to the 200m marker before the cadets told us we couldn't go any further.
