Transport for London Cycle Challenge - Scores on the Dawes 18th July

After a month of cycling individually and with members of our GMV team, the challenge is over. Our team of six finished 67th on points in the rankings out of 340 teams in our category but 40th on actual miles cycled!
A marvellous effort all round and a great way of sharing some less familiar routes around London. We cycled c1,800 miles since 18th June.

Highlights;

Everyone doing more miles than they would do normally.
Two team rides around London - Spaniards Inn, Lee Valley Navigation, Regent's Canal, etc
Simon's outstanding 530 miles.
John's two 30 plus rides
Last nights' team ride
Simon going straight out and buying a replacement bike after having his bike stolen half way through the challenge.

Disappointments;
Simon's bike being stolen
Not persuading other people in the office to get their bikes out even at weekends (must try harder next year!)
That the challenge isn't 8 weeks long!!

Suggestions made to TFL for the next one;
T- Shirts - promoting the challenge
A massed ride on the last day - when teams can meet and ride in London

My tally

The Team's performance

Roll on the next one.......and of course the cycling goes on!
