Oh my god. I almost bailed at the last minute due to biological fail. Rallied and felt rather proud of myself at the beach. It was all going so well. Then finding the trains only went as far as Colchester due to a damaged bridge. And not being let on my specialty reserved and purchased ticket train. So, next train as far as Colchester. Waiting in a carpark while buses fill with non-bike passengers. Almost riding to Chelmsford then getting on a coach with dismantled bikes in the luggage hold. Getting to Chelmsford to a massively overcrowded train station. Riding back from Chelmsford into a hilly headwind. Having to walk two hills. Not being able to feel my toes except for pain.
I know you lot are all like "yeah, I just rode back, no big deal". But I've done an awful lot more riding in the last 24 hours than I really meant to :(
