This morning, I was up early because Butterfly needed to be in work early, so I managed to add a bit of a loop. I rode across Clapham Common and over the river, turning right (yes, that has got a bit trickier, hasn't it?), and zooming along Embankment at speeds approaching 40kph with an absurd freak tailwind, allowing me ot overtake swathes of regular commuters. There's much more to do on CS8, but the length of solid white line delineating it is welcome to any regular users of CS7.
Through Parliament Square, and back across the river (I like the next bit of Embankment, but it's a faff getting back up to the bridges), then through Waterloo at a clip and to Borough, where the Southbound High St is closed. Never mind, I rode through the back streets of Southwark, and did four laps of a local square to add an extra gratuitous kilometre just for fun.
Sunshine, tailwind, too early for the motor traffic to have snarled themselves up much - what's not to like.
I did spare a thought for those who commute West into London, and do feel sorry for the slog they'd have had today
