Late night family drama and rain now means I'm out.

Another time.

 

[Mista Preston]

had a slow wet ride on the old girl today.

I left in the pissing rain so took out my old bike (the old girl) and headed to London. Met with the brave souls that are Adam and Dave and we headed down the Thames Path and had a bit of a magical mystery tour. Wish I had my camera as there was some fantastic buildings near Wapping along with a private beach that will be my holiday destination next summer

We then headed via the Greenwich foot tunnel for a well deserved cuppa and over priced but yummy cake.

Got home in the pissing rain and clocked up 32 miles.

Sounds like a trip I would have enjoyed but for the rain. Stopped about 2 hours ago this end.

That private beach sounds interesting. I could actually have a 'holiday' next year rather than days spent at home

Clive doesn't like the rain

the 3 of us made our way over to the fez for a mc p, then made our way to tower bridge
and on to st katherines dock


then we were on the cobbles passing the wharfs and we came upon a sandy beach


and it rained


so coffee was had at greenwich



then it was peel off time

 

[wanda2010]

That beach does look good. CC beach party next July?

 

[Flying Dodo]

It didn't rain - it was only drizzle.

A very interesting architectural diversion along the Thames - ta!

 

[Aperitif]

Nice photo Dave. 'Manhattwen'. Did you head East Adam, or call it a wet playtime and stay put?

 

[Flying Dodo]

No, I only got as far as the Isle of Dogs, rather than Shepp(ey). John Noakes would have been disappointed.

Right chaps.. this coming Sunday the Bromley Massive is heading to Croydon to meet up with the London To Brighton Car Rally.
See separate thread here


Meet at the Dripping Tap for a prompt (THATS P.R.O.M.P.T. CLIVE) 7.30am departure to meet up with the others at East Croydon Station. (or meet at East Croydon Station for a 8.15AM Departure)
From there we join the Car Rally.

What is great about this ride is that a lot of the roads are closed to normal traffic except the participants (and us cyclists).
It's nice to have marshals and constabulary waving us through...
