Was great to see so many Addiscombe riders at Ryka's for the start, must have been 12 - 15 which is more than a lot get for their official CRs.
Can't complain about the advertiser's description it was hilly. Also very well organised with a good sign on (someone said 92 starters) and good directions. I rode with Tim who knew most of the route which helped greatly.
A lot of climbing (I think I nearly cried when I saw the 18 percent sign at the bottom of that hill) and when we hit the only bit of flat along Ranmore Common we were greated by a slight head wind, lovely. Finally clambered up Boxhill to the finish for a very enjoyable pasty and coffee.
Thanks to Amy for highlighting this ride, definitely one for the diary next year.
