Bank Teller's rap-up of Sutherland to Austinmer 'n back thru Royal National Park - 92km - 6 cyclists

Twas a damp, misty start at Sutherland Leisure Centre approaching nine bells, so much so that Pacific Pete got lost in the fog and missed the left hand turn into Sutherland town centre and went sailing on Westward.  When the fog finally cleared we enjoyed a crisp day which peaked at 2 above average.

 

 1st Nosh Stop at Austinmer where Pete, Rex 'n Jean enjoyed the culinary cuisine
Left to Right- DishPig, Pacific Pete, Rex, Scribe, Martin aka Architect 'n Guy

 

Rex 'n Pete at Otford Pie Shop after 68km

Bright sunshine at Otford Pie Shop after 57km.  However, alas some of us got left in the shade.
But so as not to misrepresent the facts, the only one who got left in the shade on today's ride was Bank Teller, 'cause the pace was really on all day, with only Bank Teller unable to stay with the Peloton.
