Have a great time folks - I hope the weather doesn't put a downer on things.

I've not read the route but by the title I'm guessing it starts in London? 50 Minis should improve congestion.

Mo,

Wake up

And THANKS for the good wishes

Hi All,

What a bizarre day it has been. Thanks to ButtonIt and his fellow organisers for one of the strangest runs I've been on.

I was one of the last people to leave the start point, I went wrong an incredible number of times and was still the first to arrive at the finish point How does that work? I guess everyone else went more wrong than me

The directions were interesting at times - i never did see the SPECS cameras on Tower Bridge. And I must have bottomed out about a dozen times on speed ramps.

In the end it was me, DevilSushi and a EB/W MCS (sorry your name escapes me) who arrived at Saville Gardens, couldn't figure out where to park and ended up driving back and forth until a few more stragglers showed up

Up until Kew Bridge I was following Rick but he vanished into the traffic and I never saw him again. I'll get to introduce myself sometime soon Rick

In summary, I loved it Would i do it again next year? No Way Sorry I missed the picnic but i promise to stick around and chat at Chew Valley, the South Downs and the Cotswolds.

Cheers
Stuart

Hope you all got home safely

[SoggyCornFlakes]

home safely - busy right now but pics will be up later or tomorrow.

Londons Bridges run aka Total Mayhem.

REally not sure how i got to the end point other than sticking to MB's bumper - and congrats to Kirsty sticking to mine. The three of us ahd our own London Run and added Hammersmith bridge to it and still beat most folks

Knackered but a laugh - next year ..............

Hi Wigley,

Well I thought after our initial divertion when we (me and TonyM) took over at the front that we were last - I always intended to disappear after Kew Bridge and head back on the south circular and it seems as if I lost you just after the bridge (waited for a while but it was red route so had to move on and out)

Glad you got back ok and very suprised that we managed to leapfrog most of the others en-route

[m1les]

Chaos from the first set of lights

Glad to see you also made Hammersmith Bridge Soggy, had to be done

Only got lost the once and that was at the finishing line, but then with all the cars going back and forth we definately were not the only ones. Memorable moments: Seeing Stephen drive into the wrong car park and having to pay twice , lots of MINI's passing each other across Tower Bridge, excellent Looking forward to those pics if anybody got any.

Well done to all, a classic day.
