All and sundry! That's a fine way to talk about your clubmates .

Good to be out again and went with Ant's 18s. Still feeling a bit huffy and puffy uphill but the last two days out on the bike have helped clear my head better than any lemsip.

Sucked wheels like a good 'un on the way out and turned off at Partridge with Kate, Ed and Hal. A quick bar by the cafe and chat with Keith as the TG turned up and we set off for home. Felt better on the way back and Hal and I set a metronomic even pace home.

Nice to see folk.

Good to do something a bit different today - spur of the moment - but it worked out fine.

There IS a nice cafe in Edenbridge that welcomes cyclists - pity, along with just about everything else in the whole of Edenbridge this morning, it was closed.

We must do this again soon - perhaps as an alternative club run.

BTW Before I'm accused of taking the easy way home (and I think that was implied as we left the cafe): The A25 is very lumpy. I'd forgotten quite how lumpy. We rode together some of the way. Stephen needed to get home quick so said goodbye on the descent into Oxted as I was obviously going too slowly. I said goodbye to him on the climb out of Oxted, put the hammer down and rode the rest of the way on my own!!!

Last few miles were really hard - I crawled up the hill through Bletchingley - got a second wind but spent most of the last 30 mins retching my way to Redhill.

70 kms door to door. I got home about 12.50 and missed the rain. which was nice.

Thanks everyone - good fun and see you next week.

Fist ride out for 6 weeks. HIghlight was the tea-cake in Westerham. Thanks Jon for ride home on A25 - you suddenly got some extra legs and didn't look back (quite literarily). I got home knackered and the wife said "right we (family) are all going for a long walk." - and I did....
