I'm bored of this one now, are you sure you want to keep him, Bold?
Sunday's weather is getting downgraded almost by the minute, although it'll still be wet.
Never trust cyclists. I’m a runner. I wouldn’t call you a troll. Cyclists are too well mannered.

Stat, come on now. It’s cruel. I think he’s got the point. He wondered on the wrong thread.

You say that, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if, come Sunday, the rain doesn't even arrive until evening.
Seen that time and time again with weather forecasts.

Receiver problem. It may get it in the end.
Another cyclist killed in London. So sad. RIP.

Hey [MENTION=22214]banjo[/MENTION] just looking at your route from Thursday.
I'm sure you already know but just in case it's passed you by.
We're big fans of the same route just one road over.
Through West Chiltington (we come at it from Stream Lane, Nutbourne) then north on Broadford Bridge Rd.
2 lefts then rights keeps on West Chiltington Lane towards Barns Green, (right at the post box) with the added bonus of no, I can almost say, literally no traffic.

I missed my turn, and ended up riding through Horsham. Then had to ride home against the wind the whole way home. I was blooming knackered by the time I got home. I do like a magical mystery tour though.
Our route most definitely isn't the road for a headwind, but a tailwind and you can almost get to/from Horsham without pedaling.
I'm not allowed on the front for the right turn onto Valewood Lane, into Barns Green, as I always sail past it.
My Thursday ride I was seriously smugging the weather, as I hid from the wind, I didn't even know I had a local knowledge of high hedgerows.
Then happened to be protected from the rain as I headed towards then up East Dean.
Unfortunately as I reached the Grandstand at Goodwood, the heavens opened, proper stair-rods rain, no coat, just shorts & a jersey.
Congratulations to our latest centurion, [MENTION=3858]Motogull[/MENTION]. Chapeau.

Yep we’ll done Moto. Cracking ride.
I know I'm going to regret asking, and will probably have to run it through google translate, but will we be getting a full match report from you Moto?
Hopefully along with 10 saying 'well I was waiting for Cob Lane, only to be told I'd just ridden up it'.

Ha, as it would be rude not to, I came down to do that.
The forecast gave me a dry 7 hour window. I knew that was on if I paced myself.
All was well in the first couple of hours. PBs up some early hills confirmed I was in good shape.
I rather hoped the signage would be mildly decent down there as my notes were on reflection rather shite. A wrong turn worked in my favour though as it made me do almost exactly the extra miles I needed.
I've not been 100% for over a week and halfway in, I felt it and knew it was going to be a slog getting back. Soon after that cramps started, which was a shock as for ages now I've longer rides with no cramp.
In the middle of nowhere I felt some tapping on my helmet. Soon after arriving back on my manor, it got a bit worse. Within half an our it was pretty wet. The last couple of hours were pretty uncomfortable with a feeling of having dipped both feet into a bucket of water.
I would never have made 'your' climb. The hill I chose was one I can do in the middle ring, but no chance yesterday as I needed to uncramp.
Coincidentally, 90 came up within seconds of 6 hours. When I saw 95 on the clock, I knew it was in the bag and felt a bit emotional. At 99 I got paranoid of cars behind me because knowing my luck, some silly kunnt would knock me off. I allowed myself a 'yes' when I heard the beep.
I'd have been made up with 6 and a half hours, so 6 hours 47 is something I am happy with.
Couldn't get warm for ages afterwards. My first 50 was a piece of piss in comparison. I dug very deep yesterday.
Fantastic Moto, chapeau... again

Cheers. Another small thing if you'll pardon the pun was the discovery back home that I only had one ball. No idea when that sought sanctuary elsewhere.
I know my moving time was 6:25, but I meant ride time. Another thing, 97% pedalling time = 3 miles free wheeling? Bollox. Not even 30 metres.
