Steve hit the A23 fairly hard and off we went in a nice long line. Someone shouted, "Easy" and after doing the traffic light dance we became a nice friendly bunch that rolled along at 20-22mph. This was inevitably broken up by the three lumps which as far as I was concerned were taken at 'training group pace' 
.A guy in pinky red top took the KOM awards. A few more shouts to kept things together through Reigate and rotations were kept fairly consistent on the front. Matt put in a naughty surge just before the Charlwood turn off which put the hurt on a few legs and the rest of us ploughed on towards the dual carriage way. A certain Alan Marlakey looked on form and showed good strength to close a few gaps that opened up (still needs to spin a moderate gear a bit more me thinks
)...A quick explanation for newbies and a slightly tentative thru and off got going on the dual carriage way. Naturally the pace picked up in the final K's towards the Charwool sprint. After a few big turns I peeled off and left it to the rest of them to decide on the neuromuscular bragging rights. By the time we reached the cafe the general consensus on our average speed was a 21mph. ...I spent a few minute promoting the Road Race in the cafe and then headed back. I manage to catch up with Huw in cafe down the road from GB's which was cool. After 70 miles of riding omelette, chips and beans tasted pretty good. Thanks for the ride guys
