What has 15 cyclists, thousands of cyclists going the other way, dozens of cursing cars and pedestrians, Steve in a stylish cap, a victory lap through the Chelsea parade, an optional 25 miles through Richmond Park, lots o' offroad gravel, two flat tires (perhaps because of the gravel), tea stops galore, and so much more. It can only be Steve's Thames Riverside Ride.

Enjoy the photos.
