A bunch of us went for a charity bike ride around London to raise money for Lucama.
Basically it was a great way of biking around to do some site seeing!
Here's Richard, proving that only wimps bike in shorts on a 30+ degree C day:
Getting a nice view of the houses of parliament and the London eye:

Heading down to the London eye:
Past St Pauls:
Across a big ol' tilt bridge:
Getting a great view of the Quays:
Canary Wharf:
Nipping through a park:
Here's Richard with the Millennium dome behind him:
Caroling and Bridge (on a bridge, hahaha):
Finally we made it out to the Thames barrier:

Heading back towards the city:
Stopping for a quick couple of pints to enjoy the sun:
Back past the Quays again:
Through Bank:
Back past the London eye:
and finally, THE FINISH!
We met up with Ian, Shan and Austin for some beers in the park:
Austin: “Thanks for buying a couple of coldies for me Mum and Dad! I lost my fake ID again after last nights bender”:
Austin: “Mmm, people might rubbish Fosters, but after the sixth one, I reckon they taste pretty darn good”
Austin: “Oi! Mark! I bet I can skull these quicker than you!”
Austin: “Yef, orifficer, I’m purrrfectly sobur, smell my bref, ahhhhhhhhhhh”:
