The Roe'd East (Billingsgate / Greenway loop) - Tues 12th August 5.30am!!!

Ride to check out Billingsgate fish market, and buy fish for Mikey's B'day BBQ.

The plan is to ride to Billingsgate fish market, then after buying some fresh catch, carry on east and ride the Greenway back to Victoria park and end up back at Brick Lane.

Start at brick lane polo courst at 5.45am!!! Anyone welcome, so long as you can get up at the crack of prawn*.

Billingsgate is just after the 5km marker.

Salmon tells me it'll be a hit. It's the kind of ride people'll do just for the halibut.

I'm not floundering.

Just haven't been posting (polo + sitting around drying). Plus, I didn't even make that one up.
