So of that first happy crew we had User10571, Jane K, Adam B, Adrian C, Paul R, Dave J, one of the Tim H's, Tim O and Jane D on last Friday's ride. Four and a half years on. Blimey!
And let's remember the places we no longer go to.
Bracklesham Bay (the absolute coldest ride ever)
Cuckmere Haven (that was only ever going to be the once...)
Cleethorpes (a good ride, but Hull is better)
East Wittering (our first ferry trip)
Shoreham-by-Sea (at the time the biggest ride ever, but breakfast was a disaster)
Morecambe (don't write it off for 2014)
Blackpool (what possessed me?)
Harwich (now replaced by Southwold)
the 2009 diary looks pretty familiar
