20/12 BBR And Beer!

Our Mpg Is Miles Per Snack Bar!

A great double figure turnout today for the Bacon Butty Ride (BBR), with glorius sunshine and light winds. As has become the norm we set out to do the winter version of the BBR route that cuts out Horsewalk and Chile farm. After a slow start things speeded up as we rode up boreham hill. Matt was feeling tired and has still not fully recovered all his fitness after his broken collar bone earlier in the year and so was dropped up this long drag. By the time we reached the southern turn off for Chapel Row, Matt had recovered somewhat and it was Derek's turn to get left behind. Matt hung back for Derek to catch up while myself and Steve D gave chase to the main group.

 Up ahead the whole group had become very spead out and apparently Malc C took a wrong turn, Ivan gave chase to bring him back but then they both got lost and ended up going down some muddy lanes before eventually finding their way back to us at  the wonderful Pevensey cafe.

With a gentle wind at our backs we made rapid easy progress home, knocking off a few Strava achievemnets along the way.

 Myself , Ivan, Malc C and Malc D made a beeline for the Standard to have one or two beers. Malc and I were in heaven as Chris (the landlord) played some classic 'Doors' tracks for us , and so before we knew it, three pints had been consumed. That was enough afternoon beer for me and Malc C but Ivan and malc D looked like they had settled in for the remainder of the day, and indeed just after midnight, I recieved a text message from Ivan telling me he was 'pissed as a phart', LOL

Malc And Ivan Settling In For Some serious Drinking LOL!
