Just got back home after the ride.
Started at Regents Park and by god was it cold, I actually had frost on my saddle and hoods while the bike was stood as we waited for the start!!
We wandered off through London, towards St James' Park where we did a few laps, by this point it was positively freezing and a hot choccy from the cafe was required.
We all got a goodie bag with some pics of the team some gatorade and a gatorade bottle.
Not bad for nowt really.
Met some good folks out on the ride too.
The team bikes look awesome in their colourway and the Shimano Durace leccy shifting thingymajigs
Tea cars certainly put the usual Skodas to shame with a fleet of R type Jag Saloons and normal X-Type Estates.

how was the ride organised - were the non-pros tagging along behind the team?0 -
The Pros were meant to lead the ride, but they kinda hid in the middle of the pack out of the biting wind and chatted with everyone.
