Only three hardy souls turned up for the tenth anniversery of the hack bike rides. This was me (steve curtis), Pete Tadros and Colin Henderson. In a way this was very appropriate as it was the same three who started the twice annual hackbike rides 10 years ago.A lot of riders were worried about the ice but in the end it was the rain that was the problem. We managed to get to Battle via Rye and Broadoak where we stopped for our first drink. When we looked outside it was torrential rain, so we decided to have another two drinks and then head straight home.The ride home was 'interesting' with flooding of the road due to the rain and the melting snow. All three of my rear LEDs packed up so I had to ride back without them (looks like Ivan and PT were right , those new 7 LED smart lights are crap!).We still completed 30 miles, so not too shabby considering the conditions. Pete wants to organise another one around the Xmas/New year period, hopefully the weather will be kind and we will have a much larger turnout.
