nice sunny ride out to Downe, there and back.
takes a long time to get out of the suburbs, kept getting slightly lost in Beckenham-ish, which seemed to go on forever. Gates Green Rd / Jackass Lane is an absolute gem though, cross the road and suddenly you're in the country, with shetland ponies and fields and a horse lane next to the road (although most of the riders seemed to be police out for a walk). lovely. time for chocolate milkshake in the village and then headed back along more or less the same route. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2384281
(still failed to get any Big Hill practice in, I need to correct this... )
