Title: Paddington Express 400 - 5 brevet cards left - 18th May
Post by: willpom gwraudax on 17 May, 2019, 01:22:17 pm

Still need a 400 for PBP? Then look no further. I have 5 spare cards. A late Saturday start riding through the night into and out of London; visiting Paddington Bear on Platform 1. First come first served.

Oh god the urge to take one is so strong... I've committed to Eurovision at a friend's tomorrow but I'd totally do it otherwise!

On the train up to Bristol now. Any idea how to kill 3hrs in Bristol with a bike that I don't want to lock up?

Clevedon looks like it's 10 miles away so I'll give it a miss. Off to find a chip shop.

Will, home many entered in the end 95?

I saw a couple of groups between Sutton Benger and the end of our lane yesterday...about a mile of road... going in the opposite direction to me while I was riding home from friends 50 birthday wedding aniversary luncheon. 
I can report they were all moing along in a tidy spritly fasion.
It was envious but reasoned that I still had one of my fastest 200's, a DIY on Friday, in my legs! 
Hope you are all having (had) a good ride.

Back home, 19hrs 30ish mins. Total average 15.8mph. Not too bad for my first 400. :)
