    Gutted I couldn't complete the full island loop but one of my best rides so far!
    The 2 bits I genuinely Lol'd at were
    - shams uber taxi discount code comment
    - and Altafs unintentional pakistani accent
    😆

      Hi Paul, this ride was completed December 2021 just gone. We still get out when the weather allows and if all else fails we are on Zwift. Me personally I’m riding 5-6 times a week and we have an open to public regular official Zwift ride on Wednesday if you fancy joining?
