Victoria Park, London, the Start.

Signing in tent.

Me and my bike!

Team - Wait for (R)Us(s) Fiona, Rob, Russ and me... The chap taking the photo made a joke about Southampton, well the joke was on him I think, he took it when my eyes were closed....That showed him right?

The first minute of the first hour of 7.

The start... Again. (Fiona and Russ)

Russ, thinking it won't be too much hard work.

Some people on bikes. (Rob, middle back.)

Rob, think he was talking to strangers.

Russ and Fiona, beating the hill.

The first stop 9 miles into 60.A place called the Maypole in Chigwell, Rob found out they don't serve at 10am.

Fiona's nappy.

People with bikes at the Maypole.

Trying to make Russ' seat more comfortable.

Fiona, happy moments before the cold rain.

Another stop, this time a banana break, not quite time for the boiled eggs.

And Tim joked about dusting off the Chopper!

Yep, my bike again...

I think this was stop 4. South Hanningfield, The Old Windmill.

This pub was serving Guinness, it helps you read maps but isn't good at judging distance.

Boiled egg time.

Stop 5... (maybe why it took 7 hours to get to Southend) Guinness and Pork Scratchings.

Stop 5 again, it was at The Royal Oak in Great Stambridge.

Tyre. Check.

Russ and Fiona, they make it to The Royal Oak, a few Pork Scratchings left.

Top Gun anyone?

Russ, he is a pro you know.

5 miles to go.

Got to get the iPhone in placew ready to receive valls about the Ashes.

Last few miles to Southend.

Rob Waiting.

Russ with a broken bad bike.

Angry Russ with a broken bad bike.

Team - Wait for (R)Us(s) go for the finish together. (well, you would think so).

Nearing the end. Southend here we are. 7 hours later.
