Early Bird 3/8- 1066 route

Newbie Lee!
Newbie Nigel!
Great turnout of nine cyclists  for the early bird, including two new riders Nigel and Lee. Steve D was there despite knowing he was doing the race London 100 the next day (he just cant seem to get enough cycling at the moment!). On riding along Bexhill seafront we recognised the familiar figure of Doug wearing a not so familiar Rice Crispies cycle top he had recently acquired. The 1066 route is a nice straightforward route with a good mix of wide roads and some hills. Steve led from the front most of the way although at one point he got too far away from us and ended up lost for several miles before finding us again. Derek was struggling a bit and Doug was having mechanical problems, at one point we realised they weren't behind us any more

 and despite waiting a while there was no sign of them so we had to press on. Just by pure fluke we met up with them again at Broad Oak. Both lee and Nigel proved to be strong riders so hopefully we have acquired another two early birders.
