I don't really understand that comment ^ but it was actually the 5:53, my time perception is a bit screwed, if that's what you mean. I didn't mean to make it sound like we did the ride 11 minutes faster than we did ;)
Do it! It would be good to have you along. I'm also fairly sure that after spending 19 hours straight with me this weekend Oli is quite bored of my company ^^.
Heh, I'll say. They are pretty impressive. I'm generalising, obviously, but as a bunch they just seem to get on with it, no starting a thread 15 pages long for a ride which hasn't even happened yet then half bedwetting at the last minute, or building ridiculous carbon bikes which they never ride for them (insert smiley!), they just get out and ride mammoth distances and make it look easy.
Also I heard an amazing bird at about 1am, had no idea what it was, but one of them heard me comment on it and told me it was a nightingale. I've never heard one before, so that was quite exciting.
I did, unfortunately I managed to turn the timer off at breakfast then forget to turn it back on (I do use auto-pause, but the Garmin thought the breakfast table was moving at over 4mph). So it missed the 15 miles after breakfast. The mangled result is [ame=http://connect.garmin.com/activity/170340407]here[/ame].
If it was the route you wanted it's here

There's a thread on another cycling forum about this ride, the people who got back to Manningtree at 2.35 or 3.40 (for example) are the impressive ones!
