2 good days of lovely countryside riding - 85 miles and 55 miles.
It turned out that Stratford International railway station is in the Olympic Park and is inaccessible to bikes which meant we had to cycle under the river to Greenwich and ended up starting from Sittingbourne at 12 instead of 10 resulting in a late finish in Rye.
This was also a first try out for my 'new' Selle San Marco Rolls saddle donated kindly by Steve L. After abandoning my Brooks experiment in a huff I found the Rolls pretty good so far but I'll wait to see how it goes on next months week long trip before making a firm judgement.
Here's a couple of pics of us and Whitstables finest oysters for lunch on day 1
