Seemed to only rain in London, once we left Greenwich it was dry all the way.

It way my pleasure.

Drizzle in Greenwich, sunshine most of way. Bright times :0)

Yeah... big thankyou to Sam for organising (and for the cake etc.)
Tim, James AND Gus for the tubes. 3 p*n*t*r*s I may have had, but the mood didn't drop.
Jonny for helping out on the last one, and everyone that came along, battled the hills and
were treated to some lush countryside.
You'll all be pleased to know that when I came to the bike this morning I had - yup, another one !!
This time in the front... I guess i'm just blessed.

How long did it take ??

Longer than it should have but it was enjoyable nevertheless.

To Sam in particular and all other riders, . That was fun.

I wish I could have yenqd my diapo into the jazza, though. (Insider joke alert!)

This thread needs pics. I'll try to upload my useless few when I'm home tonight.
