man, it was a glorious ride - my first with the forum.
thank you so much for the guidance - it makes it so much easier when someone takes care of the navigation.
the pace was leisurely punctuated [sic!] by the pit stops, which made it much easier for me. although the next to last leg to herne bay with all the wind was a trialing one. somehow i regained all the strength after the fish and the beer, and the ride to margate was joyous.
the locals were endearing and quite helpful, and "deliverance" premonition has soon subsided. i will not mention the sing-along to 80s rock anthems nor the anthropological delights at margate proper.
i had my reservations about the size of the group (was it going to be too many people to self-organize?), but the atmosphere was great and i chatted to quite a few - it really made a big difference.
