Martin, Clive, Vedran, Scarlett, Desi, Ricky, Tom and Ant (ride leader) and myself (a mix of Rollapaluza CC, Willesden CC and Grupetto riders) covered a nice 65k roll around the Kent countryside today, plus another 85k for me getting from Ealing to Smithfield Market and on to Orpington (and back).
Not so nice was someone’s foolhardy decision to climb Yorks Hill, sight of the famous Catford CC hill climb. Scarlett (a seasoned hill-climber) and myself (a seasoned lard arse) both made it to the top clean. Scarlett in something like 2:30 and me in 3:something. Luckily the rest of the ride was much more leg friendly with some pleasant climbs (“Mountains” in Kent, oh how we laughed) and fun descents.
Thanks to everyone for making the ride good fun and Ant for routing us (d’ya see what I did there?) 🙂
