A very memorable ride. The bipolar nature of the route somehow reminded me of this video: http://www.vimeo.com/5531123
In hindsight, 74 GI was too high for the day, but I just about managed all but one hill (excluding the hipster walk away from St Margarets) - chapeau to youramericanlover for climbing that other killer hill. The climbs were hard, at times I was probably serially trackstanding rather than ascending, but they were worth it for the ensuing views and long descents that allowed us to spin like Alistair Campbell on acid.
The night ride back to Dover Priory in the moonlight was also good fun and brought back memories of Dunwich.
Big thanks to Stonehedge for his good-natured leading of this ride and imparting his superior knowledge of faecal transactions. Thanks to everybody else for being a really enjoyable group to ride with.
@OLC, you could have borrowed a spare front light off me. Sorry about that, I completely forgot I packed two lights until after you had departed.
