Prudential Ride London 2015
I could have sworn I'd written a race report of this already. But it's not here. This is written a long time after the event, so some of the detail is missing.
Olivia and I both got places, so we decided to ride together. Getting to the start is always a problem, and I didn't really give us enough time, even though we got up stupidly early. We drove to Kensington, parked, and met a few other London Dynamo riders to cycle the 12 miles to the start. We lost the others, but got there anyway, and were a bit late. so didn't get to the correct pen, but just walked into a different one and it was OK.
We had a great day - the weather was warm, and we stopped for food and water whenever we felt like it without worrying about the time. This was Olivia's longest ride by far, 100 miles + 12 to the start, and 3 back to the car afterwards - so about 115 miles in full!
I can't remember that much else, We stopped to say hello to Carol at her house. We had a look over the valley at the top of Box Hill. Olivia did really well and didn't complain at all - though her heavier bike made the hills hard she cycled up them all.
At the finish we got some good photos and sat in the sun for some chips and drinks.
