The soup was delicious - it reminded me of the sea at Brighton, thick lentil soup with gobbets of soured cream churning around. Hard-earned payback for the climb up Deak's Lane to Ansty. Here's a picture that someone else took - and try to imagine this at 5am or so, after four hours of rain and gusty headwinds and after spending 45 minutes marking a junction at Rusper. Still, 48x19 got me to the top OK, although it felt as though I was going to tear the handlebars off.
