Popped out for some cake on our fixehs on Saturday with the bendix and onelesscardigan. We were fighting a headwind all the way out which has been a pattern in my riding recently, but we got some tailwind on the way back. I think. Unfortunately about 70 miles in Rosie's hangover caught up with her a bit, then her new tyre punctured, then Si's chain decided to come off due to a stripped lockring. But fortunately this was late afternoon when the sun had come out, which made these events a bit more bearable. We were heading for a nice average though until 'stuff happened'.
We took the way back I've used to head out for quite a few of my Essex rides - coming down Murthering Lane, instead of up it. I've never ridden it back into London before and it was a whole new perspective on somewhere I've got used to and stopped appreciating because I ride it a lot. It looked beautiful in the early evening sunshine with all the verdant greenery.
The cake at Knead Food was very good. Would recommend.
