Twenty six riders left Putney Bridge for this year’s London
ride. Progress was steady, rather than spectacular as the group tried to make our way through the traffic and lights. The ride through Hyde Park had added
interest as we were stopped to allow two state carriages to pass. A clue to the
occupant…. https://www.royal.gov.uk/LatestNewsandDiary/Gallery.aspx.
After this ‘scheduled’ glimpse of pomp we made our way to Hampsted Heath after
a loo break, by popular demand, at Primrose Hill and onto lunch at Hampstead
Village. Well fed and watered we had an easy, mostly downhill to Kentish Town
on past Lords Cricket ground, Little Venice and onto Battersea Bridge and the
finish at Northcote Road. Thanks to Steve for backmarking, Paul, Simon and Mark
for gpx backup and Dave for leading from Cheam. Lastly, can I make an early
claim for the puncture award? Four punctures in three weeks on two different
bikes, it’s got to be a record?
