England : London Super Special Sunday London Ride - 10 March

Redlight we also have Jean Jeanie and 3 or maybe 5 Bromptoneers in the mix weather dependent natch

 

[Redlight]

Excellent. We have a couple of YACF-ers coming too and, based on past experience, someone will turn up!

I checked everything today and have made a couple of changes as there is a half marathon running on Sunday that will affect Tower Hill but, apart from some annoying bits of construction work that need to be navigated, everything seems in order. Finish will be at the cafe just inside Hyde Park, near the Queen Mother Gates.

BBC is forecasting an almost 50mph tailwind for my ride home after the ride tomorrow. Happy days!

 

[Redlight]

So that's a 50mph headwind on our way in.... an extra half hour in bed for me :-)

Sorry guys, the old dodgy knee is playing up

@AKA Bob arranged headwind followed by lumpy bits for his event yesterday, so I'm now opting for the sofa.
Hope all goes well.

What a fabulous way to send a Sunday morning. Two teams of four taking a trivia challenge around our great city. Thanks @Redlight for all the work devising the route and the clues. It was really excellent with some great trivia along the way. Even the weather was fine - a little blustery, but bright. And the winning team was back at the cafe before the brief hailstorm, so stayed dry. The other team got wet. LOL.

7 April is the next themed ride. Death is our subject, led by the legend that is @Trickedem .

 

[Blue Hills]

Yes, many thanks @Redlight - appreciate all the work that went into this.

and thanks @rb58 for getting this series of rides going.

Didn't get wet at all really - weather was really nice - just the sort to make you feel glad to be out on a bike (despite some alarming blowy bits on the ride in).

Am impressed/alarmed by Greg's knowledge of London - seemed that every time the next destination was mentioned he told us "ah, it's near the pub".

A great day out, thanks @Redlight. Weather was benign and some great pieces of history.
