Oi - there's never been any confirmation that those events took place!

you're right.
i heard that rumour back in school (though the article says 2000, i'm sure it was earlier than that. their careers would have been over by then) in long eaton (derbyshire). someone clearly was saying something.wrong.

1991 apparently, though TBH I thought it was when they were both at City that it happened.....

that sounds about right, i was around 14-16 i think.
some big mouth came in blabbing about that the wife had found them in bed together and stabbed him.

good ride...what joe smiff said.

some nice rolly sections too despite the traffic. That section just up there^ before leyton orient was wicked...catching the joe smith draft train - highly recommended.

well done to picture takers/documentary makers etc. I didn't get burnt? sorry.

I was wearing...pfft. A shirt I'll never wear again? urggh...cheap shirt. Made of cycle superhighways (bright blue, cheap, nasty to ride in, not fit for purpose, etc, etc...)

Yeah, I sucked Joe's wheel on the marathon ride. He said he loved it.

@sharkstar: I saw the dedication (?) required to take this one, so everyone will now look at it. It was hot. Think about it.

This was easy a classic; thanks John for the jersey (it kept me surprisingly cool), Jack for the sandwich and Graham for putting this together. Best bit of riding the last mile or so towards White Heart Lane and the loop around the ground. Nice to meet so many new faces, was a wonderful Sunday.

Word. Crawling on your belly on hot tarmac FTW.

Sounds like it was a fun day out and am gutted that I had to miss this.
Sound organisational and navigation skills this time around.
Wish I could have been there for too many reasons :(

Unaware that was bad form.. apologies. Please stop picking on me

You are all welcome suck my wheel - as long as you can keep up.

busy week at work/life means i have only just got around to this.

but have to say that was a brilliant ride on sunday. looks like we have that route dialled in nicely G and was really happy to help where i could.

cheers for putting together a good ride, and really one of the few that takes in all corners of the capital. really enjoyed the banter and got to meet some new faces. and personally really enjoyed seeing murtle, shoots, cliveo and diapo out there. a few faces from last year were missed.

good work graham. looking forward to seeing what you throw together for the Kite Ride.

catch ya soon fella.

oh, and great pics. summed up a perfect day on the bike in the big smoke beautifully.
