that works :-)

something i did notice, that despite (or because of?) the fucking early start, shitty weather, bad directions, lack of peloton, lost and split up groups, there was a really nice "vibe" (maaaan!)

A few pics...

where did you get the video?

Yeah, that's the last time I follow a group of teenagers and trust them with directions back to the route. Old Kent Road is not the way.

I was in the group who went the wrong way round the Isle of Dogs. Embarrassing. Started off at the back of the first group, ended at the top of the last group.
Still did the route, albeit a different route than most.

Yeah, I did the same. Was rather embarrassing, kept expecting this dude to come down from the sky and tell us off.

I don't know if I can get hold of the video itself - I've asked, but no guarantees.

A few pics...

This is easily the best photo there is for my bike (Purple + Grey Charge Plug)

yentzing fuck - nearly a thousand words and not a comment from you thankless cunts. last time I do a write up.

sorry mate im slow in my english i need to read few times!!! good report geeza!!!!!

Ha, 'yentzing'. Great write-up Matt :-)

Yeah, nice writeup mashton. Sounds like you saw all the action!

Chillllllllll it was an excellent write up. Take a bow sir.

Just before the start and very relaxed. Would of helped having the flash turned off.

If you are the dude in grey with the blue bike against the fence who I rode up blackheath hill with would be nice to put a name to a face. My trip in from Newbury Park,with Rotherhithe closed and having to use tower bridge was spritely 17 miles so all told a round trip of 50 plus miles. Great fun, great turn out, even with getting lost and riding around in circles plus getting home was a whole new story in itself. Looking forward to next year already.

shit write up matt, thats not how it happened...

oh yeah, just have to give dicki a special mention for cracking open a can of red stripe at 06:30. good work.

Was that dicki? Massive respect!

PS, I've been cropped out twice on 2 of those massive pictures. Ppff.

Good reporting Mashton. I was just checking to see how well it went this year, now I feel like I actually was there

you missed out owen...

I was being cool in Camden till late last night, it was hard work walking to the shop to get milk, let alone to do a marathon.

Shame, last year was my Giant Onion's first ride. I remember it really well, the weather was hot and the beans were cold.
