I know the feeling @jiberjaber! Great photos. Thank you.
I had in turn been motivated by your wheezing drowning out the sound of my own efforts. It felt harder than it had 2 weeks before, perhaps because I had been 2 hours longer on the road? Nevertheless it was marvellous for me to tow anyone up Ditchling although when you overtook me on the final stretch after the last bend I did feel like the eternal bridesmaid in a Tour de France stage who has led all day until the final 100m. Speed is all relative....FNRttC Brighton Edition.
....I was almost in tears by the top but overjoyed to turn the corner and see the end. The final climb in to the car park whilst a drag was welcomed.
Oh yes: watch & learn how to do it! That would have diverted police attention from the dog!that great scene where Gary Oldman channels a scary Tail End Charlie: All-up!
This was only to be a London to Gatwick for me. It started so well: pleasantly anticipatory train ride up from Far East Sussex; stopped by to see the new horse with its capitalist bow at Trafalgar Square; bellied up to the food boat at my favourite pre-FNRttC feed stop; had a wonderfully peaceful glide along the glittering Serpentine, slowing to commune with the swans... unfortunately a couple of lumbar twitches shortly after setting off from the purple majesty of Wellington Arch turned into intermittent agony by Coulsdon, so I had to bail lest one wrong twist or bump leave me howling at the moon. Speaking of which, does anybody know what that emotional argument was about at the bottom of the hill? It involved a dog.
Had to wait a few hours for the first train home, so I killed time watching Léon: The Professional. It has that great scene where Gary Oldman channels a scary Tail End Charlie: All-up!

I had an actual celebrity spotting moment while queueing at the Apollo. Very tall chap wearing glasses, Fulham scarf, walked past, looked familiar. Richard Osman of 'Pointless' and darts fame.Celebrity (non) spotting moment. At HPC there was some sort of do in progress which meant the ginormous gates in the middle of the arch were closed and the whole edifice was bathed in a blue light. It is told that a certain Mr Beckham was being filmed for an ad to promote his whisky. (Does that sound ridiculous enough ?)
