Did the coastal viking trail from Herne Bay to Margate with OLC on Saturday. The train journey was hell mainly as we were stuck on a short train full of medway chavs who all looked and acted like they were on their way to Benidorm. Soon I hope to be able to ride to these places instead of being stuck on shitty, overpriced trains.
Was a lovely ride when we got there though. Fuck the 30 degree heat in London, was a cool and breezy 20 degrees on the coast. The sea was a beautiful azure colour and I had fun dodgy the bumble bees near Reculver. The main achievement of this ride was the fact that I managed to get up some hills! I usually end up walking up them, hopefully I am well on my way to doing the London Classic next year.
Managed to fit in some essential beach grub (fish and chips and ice cream) along the way. All in all a day well spent.
The connecting train home from Bromley to Herne Hill was cancelled so we had to ride home in the London heat which was nice and sweaty and I managed to make it up more hills. Yay.
