A business trip called me to London this week, where I decided to spend my first day in town making a pilgrimage to the famous Ace Cafe. No show or scheduled gathering, just dining riders who refused to let the rain keep them off the road.        | ||

Hey, It's England. If you don't ride in rain, you don't ride! Hope you enjoyed it there! Chris C | ||

Blimey, I can hardly remember the last time I blatted round the North Circular, it was certainly before it reopened in '97. Early '90s we used to race on the N circular at night, in tractor trailer rigs, running empty from Kodak in Harrow round to Ford at Dagenham, last one in paid for the teas & coffees. Glad you had a good time Matt, did you enjoy the "Tube" ? | ||

It was my 3rd trip to London and I enjoy the convenience and atmosphere of the tube every time. My hotel was right above the Lancaster Gate station. Taxi schmaxi. I wanted to rent a bike and arrive at the Ace properly on two wheels, but travel fatigue, the weather, and the backwardness of left-side driving seemed to be a formula for disaster. Perhaps my next trip. The only disappointment: the Ace serves Nescafé instead of "real" coffee. | ||

Cool. I almost went there on my last London trip, but wasn't sure if I could trust a company laptop in "left luggage" at Paddington. Maybe next time... |
