It were right good fun.
A few wrong turns early on, and we moved way too slow whilst we were getting used to group riding, but the second half we flew down... though Ditchling Beacon was only mastered by a few people (I walked most of it).
An absolute blast though. It's a shame it was so bloody cold down in Brighton though. With nowhere near enough locks for the bikes, we ended up sitting outside the Fortune of War pub down on the beach freezing our collective asses of.
Anyone I met today, hi nice to have met you. A splendid bunch of people.
One tip for anyone else ever riding with Roberto though... don't sit on his wheel on a climb. The sod slowly creeps down gears (yes, he rode gears), by the time you realise what's happening you're turning the pedals so slow that you're fucked for the remainder of the hill.
