thought i'd pop over to see carlos in west London. I even thought it would be a decent idea to try out my full givi luggage. what a mistake
bloody athletics marathon in London ffs, not too bad going, as I stayed north of the river, and went thru the west end. quiet enough on sunday morning.
but feck me I made the mistake of going south on my return to the east end, so many road closures. including tower bridge, which then saw thousands of vehicles forced towards the rotherhithe tunnel. utter chaos, that's when I started to regret putting the panniers on grrrrr.
single lane traffic was more or less at a standstill through the tunnel. which took 25mins to get through.
took in excess of an hour to get home. makes you laugh that the mayor of London site poor air quality in London. but then allows these events which cause traffic chaos which adds to the pollution. just another example that the mayor of London isn't serious about congestion.
rant over
on another note, having recently changed my gearing, 1 down 2 up, it getting difficult keeping my front wheel down in first gear....
