Awesome photos, you got a few ladies I completely missed (& maybe vice versa?)
I am changing my opinion on this evidence that this year's London ride was one of the better ones.

I've not ridden since the golden year's, over a decade ago, but I do beg to differ. After watching that video, I was shocked by one thing that is missing...the fun factor!
Apart from lovely Lucy, nobody is smiling, there's no chatting or socialising. It also seems the sense of cause or reason we used to have has been forgotten. To me, it looked like a 95% male only exhibitionist ritual or initiation!
I never rode in London (I was always Southampton and Brighton) so maybe London was always more dour, or perhaps it's the miserable times we live in and nobody is smiling much.
I also support removing 'dressed/undressed' thread as it has recently got well out hand!
