A wonderful hour in the Kew Bridge steam museum. Completely by luck. They were in steam!

A gentle ride on fixed gear - with a route that deliberately took in the Twickenham river ferry. Lovely weather, and mostly quiet/traffic free for the first 2/3 of the ride.

Heaving with New Year’s Eve pre revellers.



Some cracking subterranean alleys today.



Lower Roberts street snakes under the Savoy, claims to be haunted, and is the scene of many a 60's gangster movie car chase.

A mission to bag London alleyways from:

Today, I rode to Lincoln's Inn, the ancient legal heart of London. In truth, the history is more littered with infamous taverns, and a long list of villains hung from the Tyburn gallows.



But all of these alleways deal

I’ve never ridden so long in such cold conditions.



When I was warm enough to look around - the trees were beautiful in their winter plumage. Heavy frost hanging on every limb and twig. A williwaw would shake the boughs and produce fake snow.



The deep fog hushed the sounds, and all I could hear was the

The (rain) caped crusader (me) returned, laughing in the face of wet weather.



As I walked into each control, I wanted to break into song about the wonders of a cape. I looked around. Tortured faces stared into their tea, water dripping from their noses onto their cake. This was not an audience to declare

The weather was the star of the ride. Incredible temperature for October.



The highlight was a spitfire passing overhead before the drop into Hungerford.
