2011 Review

Here is what stood out for me in 2011:

• I introduced friends to FNRttC to Southend.  Not quite as planned, but ending up even better.  They did Whitstable and the 'last of the year' Southend. 

• Loved the Easter Arrow

• I had planned to do a second 600 (eg Invicta), other than the BCM.  But the BCM knocked me out for 600.  I couldn't get myself psyched up for anything above 300.

• Don't think it mattered, because PBP went very well.  What a ride! What an experience! What memories!

• The FNRttC rides were gems, each one of them

• Joined Willesden Cycling Club

• Made more friends for life

• Getting comments about my blog and photos, which always brings a smile to my face.

Ride reports can be found on my previous blog Cycling Life after LEL.
