Yes indeed, a splendid day out with a bit of cycling (spectating and a mere 47 miles for the Dunmow Peloton), lots of cake (thanks again Grey Sheep), good company, wall-to-wall sunshine and beer!
Soupy had a mechanical on the way home, on the cyclepath through to Admiral's Park: rear mech just caught the spokes = slightly bent mech, though the wheel survived ok. Singlespeeded it to limp home, then to cap it all he had a Bonk Royale, so down to a crawl, staggered into the Spotted Dog at Bishops Green for full-fat lemonade and a helping of chips. Final four miles at double our previous speed!
