Just about the best ride. Better perhaps than the Martletts ride earlier this year. The route was just brilliant. And the company equally so. Some old familiars whom I hadn't seen for a while and some new, equally delightful ones. And my young cousin, who sadly had to bail at Horsham - knee trouble.
An amazing range of conversations, from whether young ladies on very high heels can walk and talk at the same time, to the internals of a 3 x 7 hub gear via how to identify different riders. I didn't take many pictures as I wasn't feeling very photo-ey. There's this one:

I had to shoot early from the breakfast stop - I had trouble seeing due to hayfever and contact lenses and had a full day ahead. The station cafe was shut, but I got a crab roll from the baker over the road, snoozed on the 0930, home by 1030.
