I got home after showing you lot to the station, but only had time to do a little washing up before riding back to the station to pick up MF and Pifko, back to mine to have a mound of pasta and then back into town for the start of the DD. Was a little rushed, only just made it.
The ride was really good, met some goos people and the guy who was running it did well to navigate and keep most people in a group. Riding through completely empty lanes, under a pitch black sky (the moon set around 12 I think) really is pretty damn awesome. If you have never done a night ride then I'd definately recommend getting yourself on one.
Far too much to detail in one post but highlights include some very drunk local kids in Marlborough who provided some quality entertainment, visiting Stone Henge just as dawn was breaking, me and Pifko breaking away from the front and being the only thing each other could see for a good few miles, the sun rising in the morning and breaking through the clouds, and finally ariving on the beach for the biggest fry p I've ever seen.
The only downside was the cold. It was fucking freezing. Much colder than forecast so I couldn't feel my feet or fingers for most of the ride. But still very enjoyable!
