Title: Straight Outta Hackney IV15-Sep-2018

Just when you thought it was safe to finish a ride without a monster barbeque and as many canisters of ale as you can eat...

Will the grill chef be chucking Linda McCartney on the coals? I like the onion and rosemary bangers, but for the more refined plant powered palates amongst us, her chorizo and red pepper sausagey offering goes really well with a chilled can of Dead Pony Club. And a bag of skittles. Buttered

It's the ACH venison burger that does it for me.
Word from the Moose is that the beer is also on it's way....

There's probably not much meat left on her by now. And what there is won't exactly be fresh.

I like my steak aged, but this might be a bit far!

Is this likely to hit capacity soon? I'd love to ride this but don't want to commit until I'm certain I'll be okay after this weekend's 600...

Very good day out.

I'm still not convinced there was only 1400m of climbing.

Learnt many things today - Wind is more tiring than hills, my new old saddle is not as bad as I remember, sandals are the future (properly sweaty feet today after choosing shoes), 69" is a perfectly acceptable climbing gear thay I may just keep using, and Enfield is about 30km long, or at least felt like it.

Left my spare phone batteries at a garage in Cambridge, and battery ran out just by Chelsea bridge so no ECE for me. Boo, hiss. (Woke up this morning and was still annoyed by this amd I just couldn't motivate myself to do Rowlands either, so a 5point weekend ends up being only 2)

Hey ho - looking forward to the hill fest that is Greenwhich Mean Climb in a couple of weeks to finish what has been a good season.

What a nice day. Thanks to ACH for arranging the last day of the summer for us.

This ride has done nothing for the numb fingers on my left hand though.  >:(

Fantastic route!

Sadly I was feeling ill when I set off so dropped out at the first cp.

I'll be back next year though!

Kick of for edition-5 is 0830 this Saturday folks

I can almost taste the Chorizo, rocket and pepper ciabatta with a drizzle of olive oil or is that the Harira and couscous couscous?  Who knows, the killer- coffret of Beavertown will no doubt assist one's taste buds....

See you outside Thd Saluz folks
