That was a quite excellent ride. Immaculate weather arranged by the cat, and a very fine route organised by Mr Legg and his recce team.
The midway stop seemed very friendly, even if those of us coming in later had to queue a bit, and then find someone we could turf out of a seat so we could eat our bacon butties (thanks to those who finished and vacated their seats).
The breakfast was good, and very efficient. The sea was there and looked wet, and a few mad souls ventured into it.
The ride seemed to suffer from rather a lot of fairy visitations, not all attributable to the flint path, out of the eight punctures I'm aware of, five were before that path. Just an unfortunate coincidence I guess, but that was a lot more than any previous FNRttC I've been on.
The train back was also a bit packed with bikes, although this was really only a problem because I got off before Victoria, and my bike wasn't on top. This was then exacerbated by the train not stopping with the opening doors on the expected side, but this only caused minimal hassle, thanks to those who helped there as well.
On arriving home, given the relative lateness, my mog was somewhat displeased that his breakfast was substantially later than usual, and even more so when he realised that he was also still getting his first-thing-in-the-morning pill.
Anyway, as ever, well done Mr Legg, I believe a fine time was had by all, and certainly by me, the route to Bognor (or even Felpham) is definitely worthy of adding to the list to be repeated.
GPX track to follow later, but no photos by me, I never got around to getting my camera out!
still waitng for my clothes to dry have now put them in the oven, hoping this works and I don't burn them
