Road surface: dry throughout, except one small section around Windy Gap and another on Coldharbour Lane. Could be slightly dicey if frozen, but doesn't look like that will be a problem this week. Massive pile of horseshit, on the descent after the Radnor Road climb, which could be interesting in a group in conjunction with that road surface. Some of the descents gravelly but nothing out of the ordinary.
Road condition: The usual moonscape in places, but only a couple that look like they are a) new and b) a problem. One big pothole on the out leg from Effingham, a few hundred yards after St Theresa's School, on the flat. The other is on the flat after you come down Coldharbour Lane. Perfectly avoidable in daylight but probably advisable to be alert in the dark.
Badgers: none
May join you on Tuesday, will depend on a couple of things, particularly work. If not, have fun out there.
Splendid out there today.
