2013-10-19 - London Borough Spiral Ride

True although I think there were some amendments needed to ensure it actually went through all the boroughs?

There were some improvements made on the day, but I've already captured them in a new version of the route on ridewithgps, it's linked above.

There was a detour deeper into Hackney, due to confusion about whether Hackney Road is called that because it's a road in Hackney or because it's the road to Hackney from somewhere else, I think. It turns out this was not needed, but it didn't do any harm either.

No the route was fine. But some of us sped of and missed 'a bit'.

For some values of fine. It's a workable route, but if there was one thing I'd change it would be to avoid the very bad potholed surface on some back roads somewhere near Lewisham (I think) but I can't remember exactly where. We hit them in the dark, it wasn't good.
