cheers Oliver!

oh and mccccaaarrrrtyhy.
excellent call on the hairdryer.
those bianchi decals are peeling right off.

Wow, that morning sky in Brighton is incredible! What a shade of blue!

very nice video and pics, love the music you chose.

Brilliant video... the moment fiddy's revealed lurking near M&S is hilarious..

also cracking escalator bizness.. well done H!

The video is excellent!
So weird that you had a break at Gatwick.

that, gentlemen, is genius.

Glad to help ^_^

Great video and photos!

tell me you wore more than a tshirt mcarthy. please.

Haha don't worry i'm not that silly to do that ride in just a t-shirt!

Had a pair of shorts and a hat too =P

Michael even PROTECTED HIS KNEES! Whatever next?

Nice one, Henry. As usual, I didn't even notice that you were filming/taking pictures until the travelator bit, and I'm afraid I didn't get what you were doing at all. It is good for comedy effect. Maybe we should do this ride with eighty people sometime and try this shot again ...

looked like a fun ride guys. 531

I don't know about anyone else, but having not slept yet the knackeredness has just hit hard.

I'm bushed.
good day. good night. good folk. good ride.
I loved it, even when I couldn't get off my bike when i cramped up.

Hah, same here just been lying in bed all day, oh and by the way, apologies to everyone for my really fecking annoying hiccuping.

Got home and was still wide awake. Slept for five hours but feeling fit as a fiddle. Getting the miles in FTW!

I have had a good 8 hours sleep, ready to get food, get ready for work and get back to sleep.. As I've said though, my legs are quite sore so not fit as a fiddle

I've done 300 miles in the last two weeks including this ride, which is why I felt quite strong and I'm not feeling any after-effects. So good to be getting fitter again after a long winter lay-off.

i'm pretty chuffed.
that was my first real ride since the accident last year, and i'd been without a bike for a bit too.
woke up this morning after a 12 hr sleep, and feel just great.
(I didn't go into work, the night shift was covered by a friend)

thanks for waiting for me when my lack of fitness was proven, and now I've got to get back into the training.
triathlons await.

Hi all.

I slepts 5 hours yesterday afternoon and had a normal night yesterday evening. I feel OK today, just a very light pain in leg muscles, almost un-noticable. I took my bike to work as usal today!

That was a great ride, my first "long" one really, I rarely ride over 40 miles... And also my spiny ratio was OK after all despite my concerns... 42X18... whatever!

I did not know most of you, it was nice to meet you!

Thanks for a great route and all Oliver!

That's a great ratio. It is spinny but it's right on the money; you can get some speed and still climb hills..and not on foot.

Looks like that was fun, I've yet to do more than 25miles in one chunk so might have to do one of these.

love the escalator, eyebrows

I've never heard anyone Hiccup as much as Mccarthy, well done sir

When's the re-match, I want do do it on my other bike...

Glad everybody enjoyed it so much and is feeling fine today!

It was an absolute pleasure. Totally loved it.

Rematch? I'd certainly be up for doing it again, although I'd also quite like to go somewhere else.

If anyone has any suggestions, let us hear them.

In the summer, I'll at least do the Exmouth Exodus (http://www.exmouthexodus.co.uk/ - highly recommended) and the Dunwich Dynamo.

Thanks for the Sesame snaps Oliver, a real treat..

I suppose we could night ride to anywhere as long as there is a good train service home again
