After 80 miles the day before, the legs were feeling a little creeky on Sunday morning, and the thought of embarking on a further 50-60 mile ride down to Brighton was not a good one.
.
Nevetheless, we all saddled up and made our way to Tooting Broadway to meet up with all the other riders. Riders today were: Jo, Adam, Rich, Feisal, Ali, James, Sam, Jez & Matt.
.
The plan for today was to cycle approx 60 miles down to Brighton....through small towns and villages such as Caterham, Turners Hill, Ardingly & Burgess Hill. Two out of four of those have 'Hill' in their name, so that didn't bode well.....they didn't disappoint either!!
Jo Hutchins starts Day 2....... The ride was largely without incident, although having thought we had left him behind yesterday, the puncture monkey struck James' bike after only a couple of miles!
Rich Smith takes a breather....
The weather was again glorious, and we arrived down in Brighton a little later than scheduled at around 2pm. As you might expect when the sun comes out in the UK, every inch of Brighton beach was jammed full of the great British sun worshipper!! It wasn't a pretty sight!!
Arriving at Brighton Beach....
Total mileage: circa 60 miles
