Four days left here....... difficult to fully absorb the enormity of finally leaving Cambridgeshire! Maybe London isn't too far away but it's a whole new world to explore and experience
The weekend has been utterly lovely, with Friday night starting off at the shop in Bermondsey, not so many people turned up but it was decided at some point around 11 to head to Chelsea Bridge. Now, in my naivity, I just assumed that the half dozen or so of us would go to this bridge maybe one or two of them would try the wheelie thing and that would be it. Well, we did all ride down there together, though Pete decided to go on the Quad bike which was hilarious. He led for most of the trip -people were being very polite and not just racing past him. It was really quite odd to be part of a group of 'bikers'..... very buzzy! So we arrived at Chelsea Bridge and it was a full, heaving mass of bikers!! They ranged from grey beardy blokes on big Harleys to teenagers on scooters. The lads on scooters spent most of their time wheelying across the bridge ... there was a strange smell of burning rubber and the buzz of a large gathering! Very odd, and it happens every friday night!
We then, as a team, headed into Soho and found coffee at 'Bar Italia', sat on a doorstep and watched the world go past at 2 am
