Cheers guys.

I saw some girl collapse around Canary Wharf. Two friends(?) picked her up and were trying to get her to keep going.

Then one guy completely passed out on the Embankment. Medics were rolling him over into the coma position. And another guy flat on his back just near the Houses of Parliament. I really felt for the guy cause he was less than a mile from the finish line. But he had probably been pushing himself for the last 10 miles and just couldn't make it.

He was probably on 85 GI too.

Happy Birthday mate.

So I ran the marathon today in 4.02 and something. Not enough training because of a knee injury means I am absolutely shattered now though. It was one of the hardest, most painful experiences I've been through. I don't think I'm going to be able to use my legs for at least a couple of days. Once the pain goes away I'm sure I'll appreciate it a bit more. At the moment though I'm just saying to myself 'Never again!'.

I know some other guys were running today. How did you go? Kipsy, Mooks, any others?

with the seattle guys now at the Northgate pub, then heading to Mitch in about half an hour.

Prav, you are gold!

Sorry dicki, but when you are riding with fiddy, you have to account for a stop at every pub along the way! I left my house at 10am, we rolled into Henley at 7pm!
Awesome day though. The perfect relaxing mix of riding and drinking, with a whole lot of sunshine thrown in.

August 1st is in the middle of the Euro's Bike Polo Championship. I think the social committee is working out events for all our visiting players. Might be worth talking to Matt Vidal?

Nice one Paul. I'm running a bit late, just trying to get in contact with John now. Looks like I'll be in RP closer to 11am rather than 10. Sorry!

Do you guys really want to go home as losers?? Ok, fine.

It looks like beautiful weather tomorrow, so Dropout and myself were thinking a nice ride might be in order. We rode to Oxford last year, Henley was about half way and seemed like a nice town, so why not!

I'll be leaving from east London around 9am, aiming to get down to Richmond Park by 10am. We should roll into Henley about 2pm. If people feel like it, we could always push on to Oxford, but maybe just take things as they come.

All are welcome, as long as you can make the distance!

Gabes, get me some coffee.

Can't do tonight, but definitely up for the rest of the week.

Looks like a bit of an unofficial tournament. They have listed Palais de Tokyo and Petit Palais as venues? Does this mean if PdT is busy they will use Petit Palais? Cause to be honest, PP is no good for a tournament.

poor effort! Where is everyone? Gabes, i'm just in angel i'll give you a call when i'm finished.

Probably around 1pm for me.

The whole point of this ride is that it's one of the few times of the year that some of the major roads in London are closed off. So NO cars, NO pedestrians, NO traffic lights, NO stopping!

Riding round the night before or after the marathon is pointless... do it any other day of the year.

If lots of people want do do this ride, you need to set off in small groups, no more that 8 or 10 people. And best to do it fast! So that cops don't have time to stop you, and also because you can.

I'll leave the rules debate up to others, but...

I don't think the 'don't be a dick' rule is good enough to stand up to international competition. As much as some people hate it, we do need some more rules.

I'm pretty sure I got done too. I remember waking up to Rob's face smiling from behind his camera, whilst someone whipped away a piece of paper off my chest. Quite disconcerting!

This looks fantastic. 32 teams. Round robin Group stage, top 16 go into elimination finals. I would be very tempted, but maybe give it a week or two so I can recover from Rouen.

Fuck, that is the hipster highway. Hope the rider is ok.

Yellow hoodie is packed! That's my lucky jumper!

there are 5 of us down here atm, we just need 1 more! Come on. And bring an extra mallet if you can.

So Mitch tonight then? This could be the beginning of 7 days straight of polo.

I don't often say this, but ... I agree Bill. I'm riding.
