Training: EF-Colney Heath-Radlett-Whetstone-EF

First ride with the Finchley Racing Team group that meets in Whetstone. Nice bunch of guys and a fairly leisurely pace (except for the hills), though this is the usual pace of their Saturday ride and Sundays are apparently a bit faster and longer. There were a couple of familiar faces of riders that used to meet in Potters Bar... apparently many of these guys are now riding with this group due to the dissolving of the Finsbury Park Sunday group.

At the end of the ride we stopped at a coffee shop in Whetstone - all 15 or so of us taking over the tables outside the cafe. The shop owner, in jest, asked us all for urine samples - classic! We chatted about the Tour de France and the scandals that have hit it over coffee, tea and cakes and then moved off on our separate ways. I told them I would see them tomorrow for the ride that actually starts just down the road from me in East Finchley, though its quite early - 8.30am. Should be good.
