With Easter over, we had to get back to serious training. Tom promised (bribed) us with food - which is going to be a recurring theme in France. Today's ride took us past
Britain's most haunted pub in Bletchingly, the
Windmill at Outwood,
Dormandsland through
East Grinstead. There was a
classic bus extravaganza being held at
East Grinstead. We saw loads of them on the road and for once, we didn't mind being overtaken by them!

Our ultimate aim was to get to
Pooh Corner, in
Hartfield, where the shop and the cafe provided with welcome break for lunch. There were novelty teapots and mugs and the food was good too! My parents joined us there and Pooh found a lookalike - my dad. Sadly we didn't get to throw any Pooh sticks.

After getting rid of my parents, (who are not at all good at cycling and drove back), we returned via a parallel route. The
Oxted to
Warlingham climb is a bit of a steep one, just when you think you're nearly home, but we made it!
