I totally forgot I was going out this afternoon so just got home now with one very sore hamstring. I got pulled around todays ride by Ian, Andy and Dave and I really felt it from the off. Thanks guys for putting up with me and making sure I wasnet left behind. We started with some rain, me being late a story of 2 new bikes one of which a PX Nanolight that I am looking forward to seeing
The weather eased although still windy but my 5 hours sleep and lack of cycling was killing me.
As Ian said London was full of tourists and as the summer sets in I think it will get busier still.
The lack of carbon for me today means I am really feeling tiered now as opposed to 2 weeks ago when I felt fine after the ride. Interesting that my average was again 14.1 which was the same as 2 weeks ago on the carbon jobby.
Anyhow just shy of 38miles for me. I am going out for a little scoot tommorow night and again hopefully in the week to attempt to start getting decent mileage in the week to give me a half a chance at staying in contact with you lot
See you all next week and have a good ride for those who are going tomorrow.

Button thread and a dyson, Dave. Sorts almost everything.
When I wake tomorrow, I'll be searching for oil and maybe swapping out the rear brake pads. Chain needs lubing. Brakes need to be euthanised. Bets are, I either don't turn up, or I arrive and can't stop
