Whilst Andy Halliday and others travelled the country knocking out some great TT times, the Ride London Group did their longest training ride to Kop Hill. A punchy route started and ended pretty calm, however Jerry’s tyres found it too tough and left us early doors in Fulmer. The middle section was a bit of a killer, with just 4-5km gaps between yet another 80-100m steep boy.

Luckily we found a cafe in Princess Risborough, where Nic decided to test his ability to take on board food at pace. The Full English ended up having the perfect calorific characteristics.

Following the beans and eggs we made our way up to Kop Hill for our first venture up, before a slightly undulating trip back to Ealing.
