Someone suggested riding a hilly 100 around the north downs.
I can do that fixed at 72gi, I thought.
Climbs with prolonged sections of 20% suggested otherwise.
Still, LOLz were had following islington CC mamils around the downs desperately trying to keep up with the group on the downhils whilst doing myself moderately proud on the ups. A couple of unridable sections were run, then walked, but otherwise I dun good.
Half time at Maison Du Velo, then proceeded to Dorking where I left the group to do a solo climb of Box before idling home. The group were supposed to climb Coldharbour, Barhatch, Leith, Whitedown and box but the fading light got the better of them and ended up with less miles on the clock than me - 100 give or take a few with 1700 meters climbed.
Easter classic today - weather insanely good, spun a nice ride out with the wife and mates. Good to see @KT_Bee at the finish and briefly at half time. Alas, no date cake either. Bah.
