Great turn out this Friday for the Friday chaingang. There were eight of us at the start including Tim and Jay Miles. Just before we set off we saw a cyclist ride past, a few minutes later the cyclist returned; it turned out to be Steve Denny (who used to do some off road with us). It turns out steve has bought an old Bianci and has got into road riding.Apparently he has been regularly been riding from london to Brighton in the dark!. I think he said he had done this four times now and was determined to do it within 4 hours.He had already ridden 18 miles at the point he saw us but decided to ride with us anyway. He was with us at Rye but when we all reassembled at Broad Oak he wasnt there. After waiting 10 minutes we had to move on we assume he must have either decided to give the climbs a miss or had a puncture ? (his phone was switched off when we tried to ring him), The rest of us continued as usual although the pace was gentler than average and for me ascending Stonestile lane was a lot easier than the week before.
S.C
PS- Turned out in the end that Steve had a puncture just a mile from Broad oak, he really enjoyed the ride though so hopefully we will see him again.
