Just got back from 'A Hard Day In May', the summer edition.

A glorious day on the bike, marred only slightly by a near ride ending mechanical about a third of the way in. On a right turn the front tyre sidewall blew out, causing a low speed off. No damage to me, but the bike took a knock to the rear mech, bending the hanger substantially. I wasn't too far from East Grinstead, so made a detour to bike shop. Took an age to fix, but after a couple of hours it was back on the road.
A truly glorious route (thanks again @pastry_bot) and a perfect day for it. Still bloody hard work.
