Thanks Mat.

Apart form the weather which was apalling it was a privilege to ride through closed roads in London..I took full advantage of being able to go through red lights,cycle down the wrong side of the road and dive down blind bends. Its really quite scary riding in large numbers at high speeds and there were accidents frquently waiting to happen. The closest I got was just avoiding a full drinks bottle rocketing towards me..you just had to stay alert the whole time…loved it!

Shame we didn’t get to do any climbing…good to average 22.3 mph for the 86 miles  and I’m confident that I would have easily  broken 5  hours (my aim) if we were allowed to the full 100…I want to do this again in sunny weather…and even on the tandem…please don’t apply for this event so I have more chance of getting in again!
