We decided on the train back that he should be the first recipient of the Hugo Koblet Pedaller of Charm award. Wear it with pride Sam, it was well earned.
I didn't realise I had a comb and some splash on cologne in my pockets.....
Glad to hear everyone enjoyed themselves. I had a great time, thanks all for making the night what it was, and thanks to Jonny for hanging around St Mary Cray on purpose just so I wasn't on my own for half an hour. Oh how I loved all the unhappy Arsenal fans faces on the train home!
I agree with the pub stop, if we do the route again we should stop either in Farlingham (where I tried to send BMMF the wrong way), or at the first pub on the left we come to after the climb up and back over the motorway.
I cannot make the next one as I'm on holiday, but hopefully I'll be back in time for the next TNRC (Surrey Hills?).
As for a repeat of the Kent route, I'm happy to devise a different route for next time that starts from Sevenoaks if anyone fancies some different roads. Still only about half an hour away from town, but it'll cost a couple of quid more to get to. Why, we could even take in Yorks Hill on that one...
