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.

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.
