Did the freecycle today to make sure my bike was running well. Bloody nervewracking, very busy and a mixture of young kids veering all over the place and others old enough to know better who were riding too fast for the type of event it is meant i was in constant fear of someone crashing into me and then getting injured before tomorrow

OK, riding from Highgate to start - anyone got any idea best route to take - not exactly sure what's closed and what's not!

Don't want to be racing trying to find the right way in the morning - especially with a 6:14 arrival... (Black Entry)

Plotted this on bikeroutetoaster - be grateful if anyone with more local knowledge can confirm route OK?

Cheers....

Anyone think this will be OK?

Sorry. I may have been guilty of speeding a few times, but only in the clear sections. When I got there this morning, the route down the mall was blocked up with cyclist after an accident.
