What a lovely route, using many lanes which are different to other events in the area. Very impressed with the organisation too, at the start, first checkpoint and at the finish.
Great to see so many Brixton CC riders in their distinctive strip, with many of those I got to speak to new to riding such a distance.
Apart from a couple of short showers, the weather behaved itself. I spent most of the day with a Canterbury CC rider whose name now escapes me. It was good to ride with company, before a rather slow 60km back home to complete my ECE. Don’t ask why I thought it a good idea to ECE, but at least it made it easier to get across London for the start.
