Meet with Paul at 10.30ish CSS. And then we set of a fairly hilly ride including White down and Boxhill. I covered 71,77 miles in total and feel bloody good for it. We had a low ave speed due to the constant blowing swirling wind just when we thought it was behind us it spun round a kicked us in the teeth almost stoping us on several occassions. We managed to go all the way over White down in ONE go (unless you count the STOP to read the map :D ). Gez, thats was hard work going over that but feel good that I've seen it and done it. Then we rode onto Boxhill which I now must admit does seem fairly flat even though it is very long (to me anyway) but I did manage a sprint at the top as well finishing with a speed of 17mph I was well chuffed :D :D (easily pleased with my riding abilities).

A big thanks [size=150](THANKS)[/size] to Paul and his Map skills and for a very good enjoyable day he does intend to ride this on Thursday's and i'm sure I will join him.
