Hey hey, great night, so glad I came. Arvy, thanks 2nd running for the excellent Cohiba Esplendido. What a great smoke!
Well done to all the TTers. You're insane. Nearly killed me coming up piss-easy (in comparison) Crouch Hill, never mind Swain's. Still, I'm the fastest person not to do the TT. And for the second time I got there without getting off and pushing.
Ride home was interesting. In top, 53:13, 105 inch gear, spinning like a mad thing down the hill and still a lorry roared past me. Must have been highly illegal as shortly after, I have slowed down, but as the cars slow to 30 for a speed camera I'm whizzing past them and still don't manage to set it off. Good luck the people trying to trigger the Canada Water one. Mind you I've seen speed camera photos of a flying duck on Chiswick Bridge, so it can happen!
Got to Highbury corner, take the easternmost exit, east of signs for shoreditch and the city and 30 minutes later I'm heading back west, fuck knows where or how. This is the second time that has happened. Fuck Islington: it is clearly exempt from the space-time continuum.
Great evening everyone. Great Pizza too.
Shame about that fucking mountainside though.
