Hello! Sorry I didn't recognise you - please don't take offence! Although I feel I have to correct you- it was not a L2B it is my Prudential London top (same charity though obviously). We will have to meet up for a beer as you mentioned a few days ago.
None taken, I was on a bit of a mission to get to M'head bridge as I had arranged to meet a friend there for a bimble into Windsor - then promptly decided to take the long route from Binfield via the Chilterns and was once again running 20 mins late!Given my current issue with timekeeping when we finally do manage to arrange a beer expect to be three parts to the wind by the time I turn up!!

Saw someone this morning in a black/white/yellow shirt (about 10:15am) on the road above Box Hill cafe. I was on an MTB heading the other way, about to drop into the trail opposite Smith and Western. Hope you had a good ride.
Sounds like that was me. First spot for me Good ride? Not really, 2 out of the 3 hills I couldn't climb and had to walk http://www.strava.com/activities/164827229

Fun, but bloody hard work!! My hands and wrists are still numb and I have a huge bruise across the bottom of my back but I would do it again tomorrow - absolute scream! I also managed to perfect getting the thing onto 2 wheels on a couple of the sharp corners which seemed to be a bit of a crowd pleaser!
Only thing I don't understand is that we held 3rd place for the entire race, but were placed 11th at the end despite the fact we had lapped the guys who were placed 3rd twice! I think it is because we were not allowed to turn the number 13 upside down......

Looked brilliant. You guys were flying! Did I hear you serving a penalty for an infringement? Definitely on my pedal powered bucket list.
Thanks! We did have Darren Kenny OBE on the team which helped - but I was defo the fastest on our team, saw 20mph!! Yup, apparently I overtook in the pit lane - personally don't remember it but I did make quite a few overtakes so I guess it could have happened! I really enjoyed the corners, I managed to perfect 2 wheel cornering which seemed a bit of a crowd pleaser!! I managed to see 20 mph on the speed camera which took a fair amount of effort!!

Spotted this morning, Junction Road Norton - around 09:30.
Stopped for brief chat. Sorry forgot your name. Heart powering lungs not brain!
Two PH shirt wearers on the same road. What are the odds of that happening?!

That would have been me - as you say, it's a small world! Stopped for brief chat. Sorry forgot your name. Heart powering lungs not brain!

I realised after I'd left that I was a second batch too - my head wasn't all there either! I kind of wish I had managed to get myself out of bed earlier so that I was heading back when you were to be honest as it just got muggier and muggier!
