Ring of Red 2019 - November 10th


Hoping to get up to Thurrock for my annual attempt to create the ring around London's M25 ring road.  

Pepé already has the poppy under the headlight and the year bands on the clocks. I'll have to dig out the big red t-shirt to squeeze over my riding gear.

The usual two wristbands have been ordered, one for me and one for Pepés speedo.

But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo
