Went for a solo 160 km 2350m extravaganza in the Kent lanes linking up 10 or so of the hills I'd ridden before and some I hadn't.
Trevereux Hill (a tarmacked bridal path) was a highlight. Must have been somewhere between 15% - 20% gradient and when I stood up to put the power down, the rear wheel started to spin as the surface was quite slippery.
Stopped in Kemsing for an Ice Lolly which was a highlight. Somehow the camera on the phone got sweaty.
Home now with Cider and a bag of licorice all-sorts.
8/10. Would ride again. Dodged the rain, very little wind and never very far from home.
