Nevermind, I am an idiot, I just checked the mile markers. So yes, it was the correct way... :)

I'll be sure to do some targeted training and then get the train to Stortford one day when there's a strong northerly wind, warm-up on the rollers at my Auntie Joan's place (I'll courier them to her in advance), and make a decent effort, as there's little else in my life that could possibly weigh as heavy on my mind, or create as much meaning.

Effectively, I'm almost always the backstop, but as I'm not familiar with surrey I'll need someone who is to ride with me.

I could lead potentially. There are a couple of turns I don't recall 100%, but I suppose I could figure out how to use the routing function on my Garmin 500.

I could lead, but I'm currently slow up hills and therefore people could easily ride off the front and get lost.
Plus I'm not 100% certain I'll be there, it all depends on work on the day.

At the time I figured it would be easy to tell where it was from my GPS but unfortunately it's isn't terribly obvious (however it could be Brixton Lane based on a couple of suspicious speed drops). Sadly if I had to take a punt on it I would say it was Brick Kiln Lane - certainly it was a few minutes after I started getting slapped in the face by the Southerly wind.
Incidentally, at the start of the loop bit, I went left, clockwise - is that the correct way round (the Gramin said both directions were off course(!) but corrected itself quickest going that way)?
