Hans had arranged a tailwind for today's ride, but, due to a mix-up at the Weather Centre, we got a headwind instead. There you are, these things happen, despite the wind we were able to maintain a good pace.
A good ride and a great day out.

OK Mark but where is the write up, what did you actually achieve on what was a terribly windy day. Did you get to the Witterings and enjoy your pint at W'Spoons. What was the actual mileage on bikes? i am sure that you all excelled but brave men that you are,the essence is in the detail. I hope that you all got home safely, with or without lights!
Pretty awful day to start with so I hope you all got some afternoon sunshine! I really hadn't meant to leave the ride so early at Byfleet (Plaistow or Kirdford was more my intention) but I had a bit of problem. Once sorted I tried to chase you down but you had all vanished, so the next strategy was to try and cut you off by a different route. I got as far as Ewhurst by 12.45 and it was looking challenging, but not impossible, but then, unexpectedly, some much heavier and more persistent rain set in, so I decided to cut my losses and head for home. Needless to say, a few miles up the road towards Ockley it was bone dry and looked as if it hadn't rained all day! Never mind, there's always another Wednesday!
Ride Leader writes the report, Mike. I'm sure Hans will, in due course. Performance data is in the graph, map gives route ridden.
Yes I know Mark but your comment was so tantalizingly short I thought that you might have added the odd Tit Bit. I patiently await Hans. Hard luck David if you could not keep up or catch up I certainly would have held the group up.
Not so much that, Mike, but I only had a very rough idea of the route in my head and, having sorted my problem, got caught in traffic, at lights etc and hence lost sight, no idea at all where the blighters had gone! These things happen despite the best laid plans of mice and persons!
