...and Brighton it was, with @Trickedem @rb58 @ianrauk, on HMS Queenie, with @iLB as stoker. Given the latter has never ridden any other recumbent, or to my knowledge any other tandem, you can imagine we had quite the time
See http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3942835 for details.
After our blistering* ascent of Ditchling, Andy and I were approached by the estate of Malcolm Campbell, and told that our record could not stand as we did not have official MSA or FIA Accreditation and had not done a reverse direction run. Richard Noble has subsequently contacted us to say that we cannot have his OBE and we caught Guy Martin fiddling around with the Rohloff.
Sorry for holding you up, centurions!
* blistering, as in the approximate speed that paint will be rejected by a poorly prepared surface when exposed to a moderately warm day.

Right. The second Sunday of the month approaches, so who's in for the SLR this week?
For first timers, we meet by the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner (not Marble Arch) from around 9.00am, departing in a random direction determined by who wants to go where at 9.30am. Wherever we go there is likely to be coffee and breakfast, and expect people to start to drift away from 12.30pm, although some will keep going and most likely return to central London.
See you Sunday........ unless it snows or something

I have now come down with the rest of the world's cold (better late than never?!) so I'm unlikely to make it tomorrow.
