• Lovely night for a ride, bit chilly but enough hills to keep warm, and so many stars in the sky.

    Profuse apologies to Steve and Matt for my stupid nav error, I sort of knew I'd fucked up as I passed it but then immediately having to deal with that appalling road surface, and having a car on our tail, sort of stopped me from processing it. Having finally admitted we had gone wrong I pulled up just in time to hear the last of the air escaping from my front tyre. That was just insult to injury (or should that be the other way round?). Strong riding to get back on the main group, particularly Matt who rode away from us on Ranmore while I was giving everything just to stay on Steve's wheel.

    Many thanks to Jim for picking up the slack and guiding the others round the correct route.

    Roll on Roydon
