38 miles so far

38 miles so far…

The text arrived at about 8pm on Monday informing the Tuesday Brighton night ride was on. Almost as soon as it arrives, the rain started. It didn’t stop either, for 24 hours the South Downs had been slowly saturated.

4 people made it out with one pulling out early due to too much riding recently.

The rain and cold seeped through the summer shoes, pair of wool socks and pair of waterproof socks to turn my toes to ice.

2nd ride a long way to go to get fit enough….

First Snowy Ride Ever!

It doesn't snow much in the South East. Last time it snowed properly here (feb 09) and i didn't get out for some reason. only rabbits and a fox beat me down this awsome trail near Steyning.

First ride.

This was the first ride of this blog! 35.38km 646m of climbing (not to bad for the south downs!) this will be my riding diary for the year ahead.
