It's still 18°C in Croydon, so it's probably going to be pretty mild tonight.

I think I'll leave wearing a short sleeved jersey, but with arm warmers available, just in case!

 

[Aperitif]

I am minded to send them a reprint of your erudite article. "Arise, Sir Adrian".

 

[TimO]

Right, I'll be off very shortly, I'll see everyone around HPC in slightly over an hour.

 

[ceepeebee]

that's me ready too, rather warm indoors in these arm warmers it must be said.

 

[iZaP]

Hows the ride guys?

 

[mcshroom]

It was great, my first ride of over 10 miles on my new(ish) Brompton. The bike coped well, not so sure about me though.

The company, organisation, scenery and food were all first class, thanks Simon and everyone else.

I have just got home to the other side of the South Downs; I think going over the top from Arundel was a mistake, I should have gone off road on the return too. The climb in the heat may have finished me off for the day.

Thanks again peeps for a fantastic night to remember.

I plan to be back soon, in South Wales next month. Possibly on a proper bike though!

Nothing wrong with using a Brompton or any other folder on these rides- Bromptons and Dahons have climbed Ditchling OK.
