Sat in a village hall, with a slices of cake and cups of tea in mismatching china, whilst they tidy up around us, getting ready for the whist drive in later that evening.
Chailey Village Hall. Depart.
towards Piltdown Pond
Twyford Lane in the Ashdown Forest
Popping out of the top of Cob Lane (25% gradient) just behind us was Oli on a fixie. A fixie on those sorts of gradients!
Almost at our (unofficial) control stop…
…at Balcombe Tea Rooms
where we had tea and cake and shared our one pen to fill in all the info controls so far
Smiles and miles. Heading towards Staplefield.
Only the Mid Sussex Hillier went up the Beacon, but we did it anyway, in memory of a friend.
Arrivee.
A cheeky pint on the way home.
