It was pleasing to see Terry had made the effort to join us, clearly still affected by his recent illness.We of course hope he slowly regains his strength and wish him well for the months ahead.
Most ate something..............which they probably regretted later.
The route south is straight,undulating and simple if your leading on a path that was first attempted successfully last year.
Chantry Hill on the SDW was the first test for most and the downhill rough stuff was certainly rideable if you kept on the grass.(personally speaking ofc)
We regrouped at the bottom which was now the Angmering Estate,an area with good roads and no visable cars.
We joined the main road at Clapham and the traffic soon appeared from every direction.
Another 20 mins of built up area brought us to the busy Bluebird café right on the beach at Ferring.
Bob luckily saw us before he had given up hope ...................it was 1.40pm.
The pictures tell a story.........namely huge portions of tasty grub.
We were away by 2.30ish but had to negotiate the hoards of people in Worthing to get to the Stenying road that goes up and over the South Downs.
Aware of the time (4.20pm) I decided to stop at Old Barn Nursery at Dial Post instead of Southwater.
For me it was a painful ride home..........headache,sore legs and just plain and simple knackered.
Saw the two Pete's at the top of Pebblecombe.......................which I had walked,well there's always a first for everything.
Sunny and warm 24º with an afternoon tailwind.
