Nice write up James. Was good to have you and Bernie with us even if it was for just the first half, which is the best half of the route anyway.
I think I may have negated any health benefits from that ride with the 7 or so beers we had afterwards...nonetheless, I really enjoyed that, was good to have some company on that route for a change. Even if the weather turned a little - the weather whipping in over clarks lane (and into our faces) was quite memorable. I love riding in winter, and was not disappointed yesterday. There is something very satisfying about creating that small cloud in front of you, matching the rhythm of your breathing, as you get out of the saddle and settle into a climb. We also got an even better view of the deer than I did last time so I'm glad that worked out.
Well done for making it out in the grim weather and spluttering up some kentish hills.
