Group ride with Ben, Tom and Matt. Boxhill-Charlwood-Leith Hill-Friday Street-Peaslake-Walking Bottom-Shere-Combe Bottom-Crocknorth-West Humble-Boxhill. 25m climb per km, nearer 35m in final 30 miles.
Woke to heavy rain and checked emails half hoping Ben/Matt had cancelled, no chance. Ben and Matt had done around 28 miles by Boxhill. Fortunately the rain eased off after an hour, then an hour of road streams/puddles. Good banter especially about the two punctures. Felt fine until the first and worst hill up Leith, came round one corner hoping to see Tom walking as quads had blown up. Going OK on the flats and descents and the rest of hills were OKish. Bagged two more 15% plus hills.
Good day out, glad the email wasn't sent! Got in the shower afterwards and could have done with a spray can of degreaser.
