    Well, that was fun !

    Good to see you all again and meet some new faces. Thanks to BR and EKE for the beers, Sketchley for the route guidance to Waterloo, my unusual self control for not having any more beers, and South West Trains for getting me home.

    Top marks to ITB for suggesting the ride in, considering that he'd ridden twice as far as me he still utterly destroyed me in the last 10 miles through London, I clearly need to work on my fitness !

    When I got home I realised I had acquired dark streaks of London pollution under each eye and probably looked even more shattered than I was.

    I'm a little tired today, but shall try to come along again soon, hopefully to retrieve my lock cable from whoever I had lent it to.

    Much fun was has as we rode around like a bunch of nine year olds having our picture taken.
    I heard that DDD may be Photoshopped in as he was conspicuous by his absence. He had better have a really good reason to not be there or her may lose his on of his 'D's again.
    Or maybe DDD was there and I was just blinded by his awesome?

    No, he just wasn't there.

    Sorry.
