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.
