I searched but couldn't find an appropriate thread...

As the title says, here's a place to share your favourite memories on your bike.
I have some great ones but I think my favourite was climbing Ditchling beacon on the last HHSB ride, it was so rainy and foggy it was almost like being in another world.
I'd never climbed or even seen this hill before, everyone hyped it up to be huge but I said I'd make it up first time so I kinda had to live up to that :/
It started off pretty easy, overtook a few people and then noticed I was climbing next tome Dom for a while then I looked back and saw him catch his pedal on what I think was a mound of mud by the side of the road.
I really wanted to see if he was ok but I wanted to get to the top more so I carried on, when I came to the top the wind hit me and my front wheel nearly flew out from under me, I then stopped with the group that were ahead of us freezing.
The most fun part wasn't making it up but just how magical it felt riding through the country roads in that weather.
Here's Theo took at some point up ditching.
Sorry for my shit writing skills lol
Look forward to hearing your memories
