The Sunday Training Ride

An unofficial ride was also planned for Sunday, to remind us about what getting up the next day & back in the saddle. Ouch. The battle pants obviously help a great deal, but still.......

With just the two of us, we set off just after breakfast(ish) with the aim of being at Nik's MIL over a Rottingdean in a couple of hours. Although not as knowledgeable with the trails, I seemed to have recognised some of the ups from the South Downs Way ride last September. Oh yes, how familiar they were. Thankfully, with the first stage of the ride ending at the coast, alot of down soon followed. 13 Miles & a piece of cake followed with chips on the beach with the family. Luverley.
A straight forward flat ride back along the undercliff, plus running the gauntlet with Brighton's standstill Sunday traffic, a long steady incline north plus the obligatory steep ending. All done. 50.02 miles over the two days. Need to do more...
