91? 91? Did you not want to get another nine miles done?

Nah... no point, unless I get to 111 or above

Oh yes, the curse of the Eddington numbers...as of today, mine's hit 101. 13x 102s needed for the next. For 110, 71 (!) 110s. I'm sticking with centuries, if and when the E number goes up it'll be a bonus.

Bit of a long day for me. Cycled up from deepest Crawley and got to the Royal Artillery memorial first, where I was soon joined by @mark st1 .

Then my eyes exploded as @rb58 rocked up in his LOUD shirt.

Others drifted along until we were 9, when we went across the road to use the loos in Hyde Park. A pleasant surprise was seeing Charlotte and the everso cute Iris.

A bit of cross town traffic and super duper highway followed and foom! we were at Island Gardens, where we relaxed, chatted and were joined by @deptfordmarmoset .

Various people went various ways leaving a quorum to instruct @deptfordmarmoset in the gentle art of Boris Bike hiring (for free!).

Some more of wiggling, diving through traffic and Victoria Park brought us to the Olympic Park, where we had an icecream. @topcat1 then led us back west, where we went our separate ways at Parliament Square. @ianrauk then dragged me, and my poorly knee over to Fulham, Putney Bridge, Wimbledon, Morden and Mitcham. We split at Croydon, where I headed south, stopping to (a) buy a sandwich (b) visit my mum in her care home and (c) find a wallet, the handing in of which was somewhat tricky as Crawley police station doesn't open on Sundays. I guess I must have clocked around 100 miles, but I don't have a computer on my bike and got somewhat confused as to our whereabouts when we went East.
