time to cycle

8am Holy Trinity Church, Tulse Hill, Brixton. Despite 6am rain and having to waterproof up and ride 8miles from Hackney already, we’ve made it and here are the riders.  Energy effervesces. We’re in group gold, and get glittered up with a bunch of older cyclists beside us raring to go having arrived from Scotland yesterday afternoon. (Apparently there’s also a Spanish team who’ve been on the road for a month) so the 65 miles up and down dale to Brighton with a headwind +rain forecast for this afternoon should be no problem.  Good to finally meet the timetocycle people too. Hopeful as to proof of waterproofing system on speakers.
