^ Except when he confused me with Laner, I'll take that as a complement though. Also FENTON!!! was me, I couldn't resist...
That was a lot of fun, thanks Oli. As I anticipated not riding much for two months, pretty much doing no hills and having a horrible cold that wouldn't go away wasn't the best training for the hills, and I was struggling a bit, but glad I managed to get up them all and not get left behind. Too many excellent lanes to list/remember, but Magpie Bottom was definitely a highlight, as was the road through Knole Park.
Thanks for the mince pies and hospitality Tony. I always find visiting other people's workplaces fascinating, especially when they actually do stuff, unlike paper shufflers like me ;)
I was pretty exhausted last night, although that probably did have something to do with the beer too. After the stragglers left Oli's I got lost in Nunhead and probably cycled about for about 20 minutes before finding my way to Honor Oak. I did see four foxes though.
