Not sure the timeframe adds up to me. From flat tyre on the bicycle at 5am, to heading westbound on the A50 at Sudbury, turning round and getting to Heathrow for 09:30, via the M25 at rush hour, another car, and a taxi? Some journalistic licence going on here I reckons!

Edit: AND a sit down breakfast!

Left home in Leics, then biked to local lock up, took Elise from there to Derbyshire, swapped into Golf, drove to Slough, parked and took an uber to Heathrow. flat out. Now sat in lounge having brekkie. All 100% accurate! 👍

If you might doubt I did that then you’ll never believe tomorrow’s schedule. Happy to give proof of location at start and end of day and shots en-route! I’ll have WAY more power tomorrow 😂

As a fan of setting myself convoluted and wildly optimistic schedules I approve.

It's quite simple, and I've worked out the mode of transport 😁
