I had fun. We went drinking all day after Bar Italia, and I am a bit fucked today. Joe, you are a bad influence. Good man, good times. Sorry the Mai Tais were so poorly made. I was completely trolleyed by that point.

Apart from that the day was flawless. The poor sod getting done by a 4 foot tall copper with an attitude problem for riding his bike on the pavement in Whitehall was funny. Great to meet some new people and see some old friends.
Really really nice ride, good to ride my road bike in the manner it was built for, with a cruising pace of 15-20mph most of the way and a top speed of 29.3 when I sped up enough to allow me to ride no-handed so I could fish my gloves out of my pocket :-) I'm glad I didn't sell that bike now.
Didn't see Harry Major though. He must have gone so fast he was invisible to the naked eye.
Didn't see Fred either, who was supposed to be leading the Easties bagel meet to Blackheath. So I led it instead. We went a bit fast though and got there at 6am.
