On the way out to the meeting point for the chain gang Derek got talking to a rider on the road who was heading in the same direction. It turned out that he was intending to ride out to Pevensey and back so Derek suggesting riding out with us. I think Peter found the pace of the chaingnag a bit of a shock and did get quite badly dropped but hopefully we haven't put him off and we will see him again. The other two newbies were Edward Jenner (brother of Joe) who has ridden on some of the open time trials the club has attended and Tom Norris who came along after Simon Prior recommended us to him. Both tom and Edward rode well and had no trouble keeping us so hopefully they will become regulars.
With the three new riders our total turnout was 19.Malcolm was first to go it alone on the front after setting off but before too long a whole group of riders had pulled him in and gone ahead. On the way back Ivan led out all the way to the bottom of spookey hill before Paul B put the hammer down to overtake in a mad burst but soon lost energy leaving Malcolm, Paul F, Simon N and a few others to take the front spot down Cooden drive. Ivan soon rallied and had caught back up by the time the traffic lights were reached.
At the back of the field special mention must go to David Morris as most improved rider. Despite myself and Derek working as a team we only just caught David up a few seconds before the end of the ride out.
