The Hell of Ashdown
A beautiful sunny (but cold) morning in the English Countryside, taking in the historic and beautiful counties of Kent and West Sussex, 106km of cycling at its best.

Commute Home on Mountain bike
Don’t think my legs have ever felt so worked…. Again, it is interesting that the moving time and moving average speed are not so far adrift. However, on Friday, I may revert to my trusty winter bike….

Club run to Barton-le-Clay
Garmin Connect – Details. Today’s ride was my first with the new “Rapides” group, led ably by David Reid. This group is meant to be the front of the fast mods, and more forgiving than the fast group. And so it proved to be. We averaged a moving time of over 30kph but managed not…
