A really nice ride today. Headed into the Kent countryside before heading back into town to meet TTCycle Grace. On to HPC to meet RB58 Ross (on his shiny new Enigma), Mista Preston Clive and AJStephens Adrian. Only the 4 of us, so it was to the usual loo stop and a lap of Hyde Park, then on to Look Mums for teas, coffees, cake, toast and what have you. AJStephens taking advantage of the in-house mechanic to fix his squeaky bum..(seatpost).
Topcat Dave turned up at Look Mums after a morning sojourn into the Essex wilderness and I received a call from User10571..erm User10571, to say he was on his way to meet us (at Aldgate).
Headed for the Woolwich Ferry to take us back across the Riva init!.. then back into Greenwich where we said goodbye to Ross. Back onto the South Circular (Climbing the hill at Horniman for the second time today for me) to drop Grace off back home. Saying TTFN to Dave and Clive (who was developing a very slight tinge of pumpkin orange) at Clapham, leaving myself & Adrain in the hands of the human A-Z that goes by the name of User10571 to guide us back to Hyde Park for more coffe/tea/cake and another lap of the park before hitting the trail back home.
A bit windy at times, a bit cold at times, a bit warm at times, a bit cloudy at times, a bit sunny at times, but a very jolly ride. 87 miles for the day. I was going to stay out for the hundred but Mrs Ian wanted to go out running so had to get back...
Cheers for coming all.. see you on the next one.
