Well I rode the 'London Sightseer' today - was pretty awesome. Nice route, not very hilly at all - weather was bearable most of the day. Managed to get quite a bit round before the downpour. The route back goes through Fulham about 1/2 mile from my place, so was very tempted to call it a day. But then the rain stopped again, and I blasted it to Richmond Park. When I got there the duathlon was finishing. So I was told I could not cycle to Ham gate using the usual route. So I was forced to go the long way round, adding a couple of extra miles plus the big hill I hate.
Well organised and good company on the ride. Mostly not fast, due to the route plus the conditions. An audax worth doing, highly recommended.
Legs are in recovery - looks like a Brompton day tomorrow!
