Hyperbole's said all that needs to be said about my main ride of the weekend, other than the fact I was recovering from food poisoning (imodium is a god send) and due to the resulting weakness in my legs he did all of the work at the front on the road sections. Thanks. It was a great ride. Eastbourne exceeded my expectations too.
@ Brickman - Shame about your first experience of a club ride, though what you've described is almost exactly the same description my uncle gave me of his first few club rides and what got him hooked to road riding over mountain biking; repeatedly being dropped on club runs until he was strong enough to keep with the group.

Hope you enjoy riding with your new club.
