Old tag - Corner of Brixton Oval and Rushcroft Road (also known as Windrush Place). Not quite sure how the clue relates to the tag.

Here we go - time for another. Step away from the computer cyclotron3k ....

Just got back in to discover that everyone's had a very busy afternoon in my absence - glad the photo-posting nightmare didn't hold you up (thanks Wibble and Oat44 - I SWEAR I did everything the how-to post told me to).

The bollards are designed by Anthony Gormley, who had a studio on nearby Bellenden Road - the design is a (not very subtle) play on words.

Google skills not up to finding the latest one ...

You might think that

Apologies for the delay. Old tag. Two photos so hopefully one will actually show.

Back in the game!

Right - second time lucky ....

Current tag. Michael Faraday Memorial, Elephant and Castle. He was born in Newington Butts. Apparently it contains a London Underground electrical substation for the Northern Line and Bakerloo Line. First spotted this as I cycled past it on the way to Poplar last night. Sigh.

New tag. Yes, I think it is what it looks like. Apparently the area is renowned for them, although this one has strayed a little way from the herd.

Oops - that's just the new one. Old one on its way

Tempting ... but no. All done cycling for today. And if your tag is where I think it is, am not cycling round there with several glasses of white wine inside me. The best tagger won. Cyclotron3k - I salute you.

^^^^

No - leave it as it is - could probably do this one tomorrow.

Right, well pretty sure where that is, and pretty sure it's not far from here.

Pistols at dawn it is. Cyclotron3k - see you there.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Struggling ... to ... upload ... second ... photo ... ....

OK, here goes (bracing myself for epic photo uploading fail, after teasing oat44 about it)

Poplar Dock just off Trafalgar Way. The red craney things ... are red craney things, didn't really hang around to find out more

I've signed up for challenge - ultra looked a bit too much like a half iron man distance for my liking. And you'd get bored of endless loops of RP, I reckon.

Hmm. Maybe you should have listened to Aunty Cafewanda? Sometimes us old 'uns talk sense :-)

Indeed - I was kidding myself to think that not drinking would somehow stop us from losing. Miserably. See you at the midsummer ride? I'll be there with hipflask. Not drinking - pah!

I can't take credit for sorting the photos ... think that may have been Oliver Schick. Thanks for the clue, though!

Yes - sorry Doktor P. Your photo posting has been exemplary! C'mon Oat44.

Lovely to see you all - rather regret not drinking, as it would have made ABSOLUTELY NO difference to racing success the next day.

Looking forward to seeing the prototype for the titanium spork bike at the next drinks. That and the business case for the the organic, fairtrade, pick-your-own cough venture.

After high-level family negotiations ... I'm definitely not going to be able to come to this one (am a rubbish negotiator). Ah well.

My route back is via Runymede and Staines - not as picturesque but easy to navigate and quick:

Have a good one!

You've had someone sort your pictures for you - the least you could do in return is post a clue ...

Have you seen this one, that Sam organised as a forum ride in 2009?
http://www.lfgss.com/thread8826-2.html (make sure you use the route on 2nd page of the thread)

We did it at the weekend. There are hills - you go up and over the Downs - but once you get properly outside London it's a great scenic route. We stopped for lunch at the Tickled Trout in West Farleigh, which has a lovely large garden

Out (sniff). Have a good one!

In - but racing the next day, so not (really) boozing. Fingers crossed the weather picks up.

@Sam - we used your route out to Canterbury (Forum ride from a couple of years ago: http://www.lfgss.com/thread8826.html) today. It was brilliant! (Although I was weak and went geared - and was glad I did).

We even went to the Dolphin at the end - great pub. And the rain held off till we got on the train. Perfect.

Bit dismayed when I switched on my new Garmin to see a few A roads and not much else (pre-purchase research fail). Would have been properly stuck (on the A roads) without the tips in this thread. Thanks. (Obviously 'the don't buy a Garmin' tips came too late).

^^^^^

Good tip - thanks. I'm happy to navigate by the stars / a crumpled route sheet / a garmin I haven't fully mastered yet for much of the journey but would quite like the escape from London to be uneventful.
