A lovely evening - eventually
Got there early and had to go to Foyles to get some revision books for my daughter, so parked the bike in soho square. After sufficient numbers turned up (safety against maurauding traffic wardens) I headed off back to the square to get my bike - only to discover I'd left my disk lock keys back in my tankbag at Nero's

So walked back to Nero's to get the keys, walked back to Soho Square, rode back to Nero's, only to discover no bikes

Traffic wardens had obviously turned up in force. So I rode back to Soho Square (I'm getting dizzy now)
Eventually ended up at the Ace, via Sid Squid's house (to get his decibel meter thingy) and some interesting backroads (and deafened neighbours)
Ian had his sound meter testing thingy, and to no surprise Stu won with 109dB. I can't believe that I only came in at 96, against David's stock exhaust at 97

. I demand a recount
