What a smooth, efficient peloton that was! Faff-factor was close to zero and we had the moon, the stars and the sunrise. Perfect. And I got the clothing just right, so I was comfortably warm all night long, although I did start to heat up a bit on the way back.
After breakfast, I headed out to Patcham to visit some friends - 15 years was too long a gap - then I retraced much of our route and trundled my way to Hayward's Heath where I joined what seemed like the whole of Sussex on a train to Croydon. An hour later, it was all over for another year.
Thanks all for your company. Ride safe!
