There is no room for being sensible when it comes to bike purchases! Impulse, impulse, impulse!!
Was a great ride. Thank you to everyone (Oliver especially) for making it what it was. Admittedly it was a tad on the slow side but it was yet another great example of the forum 'no man left behind' mentality. Wouldn't have it any other way and it certainly didn't detract any from the overall night ride experience. Plus it had more than enough fast and exciting sections to keep the speed demons happy. Oh, and I had my first experience of riding in a bunch that took turns at the front whilst the others drafted. Win.
Like Owen I had to stop a couple of times on Ditchling for a breather. I definitely managed to get further up it this time before having to admit (temporary) defeat. One day I'll conquer you Ditchling, one day...
Breakfast in Brighton was the shiznit although the wait was agonising. Totally worth it though.
All-in-all two big thumbs up!
