    Did anyone make it to the morning protest today? I was too late in the end, was rolling through at 8.30 and there was no one around... Doesn't look like the work has been finished over the weekend, or even started to be honest! The road layout and hordings look exactly the same as they have for months, I saw about 3 workers having a fag break on the south bound side and that was it....

    There was some confusion over the time the works are going to take, it wasn't the weekend but due to be done by crimbo so imagine the urgency fizzled out about this mornings ride.

    Funnily enough I came into London for the Rapha sale and other stuff on Saturday, the one place I nearly got ran over was Blackfriars whilst in the cycle lane ffs, 6th sense saved me having a fight with a HGV.

    Yeah, that is me. Seemed a good turn out - I would say there were at least 500 people there. I headed home after the lap of the bridge. Bass and IP last seen heading for the Morpeth.

    Bass has been working out. His arms are nearly as big as he is!

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    That photographer was mad! Just hops off and takes shots from down on the floor! Thank god everyone was moving at less then walking pace :-)
    I recorded the entire circuit, not bad I reckon - just over 25 minutes to go up oneside and down the other! Can be found via the video's link in the sig

    @DDD - You flirt :wink: The only thing I can put it down too is riding around in stupid gear and having to yank the handlebars around when pulling away at lights :-)
