Was great riding with (against?) you all, that was a great day out. I was on the office team, not sure we were meant to win, apologies for that, but I put it down to the team riding well together on the flat and different riders knowing different areas we passed through for some good navigation decisions. Great to see all the different tribes coming together for the event, some great team outfits.
Highlights include passing over Blackfriars bridge with the moto camera alongside, shadowing Mosquito for a few miles until we knew the time was right to put the hammer down and push on, and the welcome at the Cycle Club; so good to have a drink and catch up fellow team's stories from the road - like learning that the Brompton team went on the steam train at Bluebell Railway. Class.
Lowpoints ...riding past the Tweedsters post-crash (there were plenty of people on hand + and ambulance heading in) was sad to see you guys out but chapeau for finishing off at the club, and the naked bike ride. A un-passable river of flesh, hair and heckling which cost us a fair bit of time - I could have had a dip in the briney for goodness sakes.
Looking forward to more events in the future - maybe we should put a team in for some LFGSS events...
