At last a pub...
We went to Faygate today to visit the 'Frog and Nightgown'. I don't think I can feel my legs anymore! Almost 6 hours pedalling into the Surrey Hills and back. I must have worked hard because this hot chocolate had marshmallows and cream! (Still haven't lost any weight!)
Distance covered: 53 miles
Duration: About a lifetime...

Deux pour Paris
The challenge is on as we have decided to cycle to Paris! 220 miles of pain and suffering lies ahead...... Love you Mum! 😐
Aeroplanes & hot chocolate!
Here's a picture of me throttling a young child at Redhill Aerodrome. (He deserved it for making more noise than those aeroplanes.)
A large hot chocolate was my reward for today's cycling but it has made me realise why cyclists never lose any weight.

The iconic Boxhill Climb
Wandered into dangerous territory today - Boxhill, the home of the wretched lycra-clad Saturday cyclists who always try to overtake you while you're trying to switch lanes. They might smile and wave at you but don't be fooled by appearances. They're tricky creatures who glide past you when you least expect it...
