left my parents' place at 08:10 this mornig, bit of mizzle in the air, soon turned to dry and bright but not hot - perfect. lovely scenic lanes, very little traffic except a few roadies, almost all downhill (i did the other direction yesterday so i earned it)
Whereas we mooched out at about 10.30 towards Box Hill and got absolutely soaked - made all the more miserable by the fact that bits of bike variously fell off, snapped and punctured.
Took tea, cake and blast under the hand driers at the top of Box Hill to raise spirits enough not bail at Epsom.
