2010-09-05 - Skyride!

As I said earlier, the course was too restricted--numbers are really rising by all accounts--even with a cloud cover, the turnout seemed much higher than last year, but the streets that TfL seem prepared to allocate to the Freewheel aren't keeping pace. Here's to next year and a greatly expanded course!

Will this happen? Like you say, TFL don't really seem willing to make too many concessions in terms of road closures. It's nice to see kiddies and grannies out cycling but I find the whole thing rather stressful - a bit like oxford street on a saturday...

...
I'd love it if they actually closed a square miles (or two) rather than a little pathetic loop.

Sounds good, optimistic mind...
