Had a funny moment with some sky riders.
I had to come down from Sheffield to Guildford yesterday, necessitating a quick ride from Kings Cross to Waterloo.
I got onto Pancras Rd to get the lights right onto Euston Rd and as I was waiting a group of about fifteen riders came up behind me and asked if I knew how to get to the SkyRide. I just replied that I wasn't part of it and was heading off to Waterloo to catch a train. One of them piped up "Waterloo, that's where we need to be, we'll follow you." Alas I didn't have time to nurse fifteen people down to Kingsway, around Aldwych and over the bridge so when the lights changed I bid them good luck and sprinted it. Couldn't help but chuckle when I looked back to see a few still peddaling like fury and loosing ground.
I felt a bit bad but the seemed like an enterprising bunch so I'm sure they made it down there. Glad they got me sprinting as I made the train with less than a minute to spare.
