What do you mean you've all been training for months?
Decided to do the 54-mile London to Brighton Bike Ride. "Not a problem", I thought. "Any clown can do that without any prep". I may have slightly overestimated my fitness level when making that judgment.
Things started smoothly with a tasty bacon bap breakfast at the house of a guy from work but quickly went downhill once we started going on uphill roads a miles in. My bike didn't appear to handle the hills very well - presumably a design fault or something.
Eventually finished but with a very sore posterior region due to a lack of cycling shorts and a razor-like bike saddle. Was walking in the style of John Wayne for most of yesterday.
The elite team pose after enjoying a bacon and
sausage breakfast prior to the big ride.
The team at the start line relishing the challenge. Relish was soon
replaced by horror when we realised how far it was and how
much of it was uphill.
Never buy a burger from the Dog and Duck - it was a real
shocker. It should be a thumbs down rather than up.
Not entirely sure what I'm doing here, but it's a good look.

Good that you're in peak physical condition - take it that we can rely on you to carry all camping equipment plus beer when/if expedition happens
Who needs camping equipment?
