2010-07-17 11am - Lee Valley River Ride II

And 2 made it back.

Ollie (forum name?) and I hammered* it back, got to Victoria park at about 7 IIRC. Headwind was a bit of a pain but not as bad as it can be.

Really enjoyed the ride up there, but equally really enjoyed coming back. I'm not sure I could have gone up and back at the speed we came back

+1 !

Cheers John once again for organising.

• well I was at or damn near maximum, Ollie was probably at 70% and humouring me.
  
  

no, the headwinds hurt me too, but once we were at the station I felt like a couple more miles would be very welcome...It was good to rattle along the tp at a good pace though. But the wind! In the drops on a towpath, I am so not a hard bastard...

Glad to hear you made it back alright. We were imaging you having a romantic picnic by the river with cheese and baguette.
I'll have a look at it today and see if it will hold. Ordered 2 new tyres last night :)

dinner/late lunch was quite romatic, maybe sparks will fly on a second date though, no luck this time.
