Tonight’s Friday Night Ride to the Coast is heading to Southend-on-Sea. A group of about 75 of us will depart Hyde Park Corner at midnight for a nice social ride to the Southend seafront, stopping for half-way refreshments at Junction 31. The Rose Restaurant will be opening early for us at 7 am, and no doubt some of us, having enjoyed a nice breakfast, will take off in search of an adventurous route to return home by.
There’s a risk of light rain, with heavier showers tomorrow, but on the whole the weather shouldn’t be too bad.
Wheeled Weenie and Cathy, after last month’s success, will be riding tandem again, and one of my old friends from university will be joining us for the ride.

As for me, I’m just hoping for an absence of mechanicals!

So sorry for what happened. Hope you’re feeling ok, and that your loved ones can forgive us for breaking you.
Thinking of you, buddy.

All good, just a bit sore! No serious damage done. I’ll blog about my experience on the ride soon, here and on CycleChat.
