As year end approaches at work, I wanted to get a decent ride in this weekend as will prob miss next weekend and maybe the one after. Myself and 5 others did 70 miles, in 3Hrs 40Mins, Nice ride out through Bexley, to Darenth, Longfield and then onto Cudham. Had a head wind pretty much all the way out. From Cudham we headed over the Medway Bridge, Ayelsford, Hadlow, up Plaxtol to Ivy Hatch, the wind then was behind us, the sun came out and we had a good last 15-20 miles back through Seal, Otford, Shoreham, Farningham, Dartford and back home. Average was between 18.5mph and 19mph. A pleasing days ride, a good route and a decent beginning to the weeks training.
