Finally got out for a decent group ride yesterday, with a few of the lads from the Bikeradar forums. Got a good night’s sleep on Friday, on top of a quality brown ride and sweet potato feeding.
My plan to catch the train to meet the lads at Richmond Park was scuppered by Transport for London’s excellent Overground service (it was knackered again yesterday, typical), so a last minute bundling of the bike into the car saw me still managing to turn up on time.
I felt cheery, despite the near freezing temperature, and had a great ride out that I was glad I’d made the effort to get out of bed for. Can’t beat riding around Leith Hill on a fresh, sunny, Sunday morning looking out over the South Downs I say.
Just the one puncture – for Rich, poor lad – was fixed fairly swiftly and we carried out [sitting in James' slipstream 
].
Managed to do Box Hill in 8:55, must try harder All in all, a great route though and a great winter ride out.
The route and stats.
