17.2 mph is a good turn of speed and how about brakes

I reckon this lot would get there pretty quickly!

Almost ready to roll @ Hailsham HQ, flasks filled, grub loaded cards done.
Current outside temperature a balmy + 3C. See all 80 of you @ the start for a cuppa,
looks like a bright sunny day here in East Sussex, don't forget your sunglasses

Think I saw some audax types atop the Ashdown Forest. The ones descending down towards Duddleswell looked merry. They looked decidedly less so the closer I got to the Kidds Hill road...

Top stuff Mad Jack,

Good route, pleasantly hilly, and so balmy was the weather I feel like I've caught the sun.

Train home was a breeze compared to the ride down!

See you soon.

Guy Roebuck is the rider attacking his soup, the Peckish café is well worth a visit for its excellent homemade soup.
