Hard Day in January '20 - Kent Downs Edition

Will be back next year on a tandem.

Thanks everyone for a great day and a special thank you to @youramericanlover and @clubman for their hard work organising this.

It was good to ride fixed again, but not sure I’ll make it a habit. Perhaps next year.

Not sure why upside down though. Will sort tomorrow

Nice cruise control @200+w for 5 hours today looking comfortable throughout

@jaeyukdapbap my rash looks almost exactly like that so I won't post my own

Why does this look dry, I got soaked out there today

Thanks. Felt better on that frame than I thought I would. Good to meet you today (Lucy too)

No gears, no rain?

At about between 9 and 10 on the north downs I thought we might get wet, but we carried on South and it didn't rain all day.

I had a good ride today, I wasn't really sure the route was feasible, or that I would make it round, but it turned out fine. Am glad we had reasonably mild weather too.

Thanks to everyone who made it a great day!

Seconded! Thanks everyone!

didn't rain all day.

You just missed it I think, I got drenched and had wet roads for half of it a few hours later (no gears)..

dopage kernel

Spotted and shouted out to you guys when you were all waiting on the corner by Otford station

We heard, cheers for the shout! Was a strange place to stop for a rest admittedly.

Not sure why upside down though.

South of the river, obviously.

Thanks for saying hi #instafamous

Thanks everyone for organising this, the company on the road and checking for diesel spills ahead! I might offer my services as the back marker next time as I appear to be qualified for that.

can we see some more #nofilter please.

it may be the combination of my no-faff policy an zero punctures mean there is a lack of content this year

First HDIJ for me. Only did half; even that was ambitious for me.
@youramericanlover does a stellar job of arranging this.
I will do the full thing next year.
