That was really, really hard.
Finished horribly late after getting lost in Crowborough trying to navigate round carnival. Plus also being incredibly slow on the hills. The stretch before Bexhill was very tough.
Failed to stay in a good mood all day... worst bit was Crowborough where after having spent the previous hour thinking it'd be nice to see some people and be somewhere other than deserted country lanes I discovered that crowds of drunken teenagers and processions of burning torches weren't what I was hoping for. But overall a great ride I think. Or at least it will be once the bad bits have faded from memory.
Feeling exhausted today and trying not to mind that my Garmin has lost the last third of the ride due to battery running out.
