    London Calling

    Some of the West Country yokels (Bob, Tony and Steve) are coming to London the weekend of 16 August and stopping at mine for the night (I am stocking up with cider specially for the occasion and will let my garden grass grow long so they put a stalk each in the corner of their mouths).
    They fancy a ride round the city's highlights on Sunday morning, ending up at the Ace for spot of lunch before heading back to ooh argh ooh argh country in the afternoon.
    Anyone who fancies tagging along, pop the 17 August in your diary. But what about a route? - Cabby, this this your area of expertise. Or Sohoeasy?
    We'll be starting out about 7ish from Lewisham so Greenwich and the Thames barrier are local if we fancy those, and we can pick any bridge (I was thinking Tower, obviously) but what else should be take in?

    I still won't leave my new one there.

    It's a while since I've done a whistlestop tour of London showing people around on a bike. It's good fun.

    I should be free so I'll tag along.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
