Now I have had time to properly digest the ride and lay the noodle baby to rest it's about time I added my thanks to the organisers and riders who made it a very special day.
A spicy Ramen to start, selection of Gyoza and Tempura second, then some Sushi, and an Udon to finish. A lot for me, tho a mere snack for some of you monsters.
Highlights: So many but mostly the banter. I particularly liked the charge down High St Ken. And the race up Swains was epic. Trying to inhale that can of beer at the half way point when all my lungs wanted was air, then getting sushi and beer burps the rest of the way, was not exactly pleasant at the time but so funny in retrospect. Also the noise of Kuba cursing, swearing and growling at the hill as he dominated the steep section will stay with me for a long while. Talking of shouting, Tibbs' blood-curdling cries of UDON! all the way down the Holloway Road probably left a few locals still traumatised. And yeah, the Udon at the last place was so good it must have been wrong.
Lowlight was a blinding headache that kicked in at the third restaurant, I'm blaming it on high beer, salt and poss MSG intake without adequate non-beer fluid intake. Fortunately a couple of paracetamol and a chill out in The Flask put me back on the rails.
Cheers Poots, cheers Tibbs.
Bring on the Burrito Roll!
