A great ride with good company.
We left Mirfield with masses of family riders, and thanks to Alex and Mike the ref for turning up in Thorpers kit in support.
The families stopped at Bradley and we then increased speed to climb past Sovereign through Sheffield and via mainly quiet roads to end the day at Lutterworth, south of leicester
Sunday was bright but breezy and after some quiet roads we hit the A5 for many miles and our safety was secured by the team bus and trailer driving behind.
Into London via St Albans to drop cars at Wembley, dead opposite the stadium, then all riders rode into Whitehall via Shephard’s Bush ( BBC ),white city, Kensington then through the Royal Parks for photos at Albert hall, Buckingham palace before cutting through horseguards onto Whitehall to hit Downing St.
We were given a tour of the Houses of parliament, despite everyone being away before a few of us rode back to Wembley as darkness fell
Meals and beers and anecdotes followed.
A good ride and hopefully more cyclists in Mirfield
