I might have missed it, but how did Wilts and Ponte get on with the ride?

We had a fair wind behind us; 184.6 miles in 13hrs 5mins at 14.7 mph, set off from KM around 4.30pm and arrived at Griffin Park, just after 10.00am, which was around 2 hours earlier than I had told everyone. Although don't mention Milton Keynes.

Ricky and his brother were tweeting photos and stuff throughout the ride, though I haven't seen them.

We enjoyed it so much that we are threatening to do it again next year. You coming on the next one?

Good going Wilts!

I'd be delighted to cycle to Brentford (if they sneak up) next season.

I do live in East London though.

I quite fancy Yeovil myself - seeing as I live in Wiltshire! You reckon you could manage Charlton?

I should also give credit to Ricky's dad who did all the route planning for us, saved a heck of a lot of time faffing with maps.
