2011-02-27 Sun - Ride East

was it just me or did we lose a whole load of people after the ferry?

Yeah, there were a few incidents from a ruined chin (upstart) to quite a few punctures which spread the group out. My flatmate's fingers were about to fall off so he bailed just before the O2 and took the foot tunnel to get back north. I did the same after going around the O2 - cold and wet and I'd used my spare tube. Didn't fancy tempting fate.

Good ride, the random sand made it interesting!

Best bit, and to think I only cleaned the bike yesterday!

Great day - thanks a lot to MA3K and also to the guys who stayed to make sure us tail enders didn't get lost. Had a bit of a stack myself - won't be shaving until the chin mends...

Good to see you weren't put off by a little scratch! I heard you guys going through the sand - sounded like you were having 'fun'.

PMd. Thanks |³|MA3K great ride. Lots of new places for me

Hope you either got to where you were going or caught up with the group after me and chris bailed at the foot tunnel.

We rode through it and got a nice friendly ticking off from the lift guy. Finally got to have my fry-up breakfast at about half 4.
