Completed the London Ride today in biblical weather. I have never seen rain like it, plus hail, wind and proper thunder storms. Roads were under water and the descending was so dangerous that they wouldn't let us take on Leith Hill.

 

Had to stop twice to allow ambulances through as people binned their bikes on the downhills and then got a rear puncture on a downhill myself. Those delays cost me 10/15mins but still posted a time on 4hr 19mins for 141km.

 

Just shy of £1000 raised.

Friend of mine who started 60mins later than me had a 45min delay, in the storm, due to a landslide. It really was that bad.

Apparently somewhere on the edge on London, thankfully after I'd passed through, the sewers were overflowing so people were literally riding through shiit.

Well done indeed to all who participated - unfortunately it appears that the event was sadly marred somewhat:
