A very pleasant roll out Kent-way this morning with Benj.
Didn't start too promisingly with my dodgy knee threatening to cut the ride short at any moment and then Benj puncturing 15mins into the ride.. Once we got that sorted and got going properly my knee kept quiet and we were able to enjoy the route, the weather and the company at a steady pace.
Bacon sandwiches were off the menu at Brasted's 96Degrees cafe (sorry Benj, I know I've been talking them up for weeks) but the sausage sanger was a pretty good substitute.
I took my leave of Benj after a few more miles and let him carry on Eastwards, as I headed home happy that my knee had got me that far; the stretching and physio I've been doing since it started playing up a couple of weeks ago seems to be working.
Got stopped by the police near Catford Halfords but it was only to offer to security code my bike. 5 minutes standing in the sunshine = job done.
