it was good. Weather pretty much as forecast, stars twinkling through a thin layer of stratus and a yellow moon that rose up to welcome us to the countryside and light our way to the surreality Gatwick, where we spent a long time faffing around and lost two to an insufficiency of sleep & warmth and an excess of milk respectively. We left them to catch trains and went back to cold clear skies, a bright moon, and a lot of twisty interesting back lanes (with surfaces of variable quality) through woods and farmland.
As dawn began to seep into the sky we joined A roads and upped the pace a little for the final stretch into Shoreham, making it to the end of the harbour breakwater in plenty of time to see a glorious golden sun rise behind the tower blocks of Brighton and clear the moon's sliver path from the sea.
With the sun well up we cycled on into its yellow light to find breakfast in Brighton. Blazing sunshine everywhere.
