More excellent mild weather for today's early bird. Joining us for the first time on an 'early bird' was Derek who was worried about keeping up because he is recovering from key hole surgery on his knee. Also present was myself, Paul K, Duncan, Tony, Ade and Joe. After reaching Polegate via the sustans route its uphill past Jevington followed by Beachy Head (Tony left us at this point to view some used cars on Lottbridge Drive). Beachy head felt easier than normal as we had a little tail wind behind us. From this point it was fast flat riding all the way to 'Cafe on the beach' for bacon sandwiches. When we got there there were police officers and 'scenes of crime' officers cordoning off the beach. Apparently someone was viciously attacked there last night and it is possible they may die from their injuries, so this could turn into a murder enquiry.
Derek said he felt done in but did well to complete the ride so soon after his knee op. Hopefully we will see him out again on an early bird or club ride.
Distance 42 miles Average speed 16.7 mph
