AFTERMATH - Post new years ride.

[DA-EVO]

Thanks to warpedboy2 for leading and organising a great ride today, much appreciated and very enjoyable.

Good also to see Anthony and catch up, get some lunch and enjoy some very favourable weather. Definately a run to re-do in the future.

Not a great deal of pictures taken but here's one to be going on with - very small pic due to resizing and getting under limit.

Cheers

Will do in a day or two, I need to clean it up as I managed to stop logging for part of the way. Hope you get well soon.

Had a great ride today, not as muddy as I feared, and the sun shined on us all day

Got a little bit "lost" leaving Horsham, but managed to wing it thanks to a handily placed bridalway and a bit of local knowledge.

Thanks to DA-EVO and Anthony for the excellent company, looking forward to doing it again.

Thanks both for a nice ride, and to Marcus for having the idea and organising such brilliant weather. Where was everybody else? Don't they like cycling? :roll:

Maybe another time we could do the Horsham to Guildford to Horsham leg?

Thanks for that Dylan. I'm pretty sure the last time I was there we looked at a proposed housing development at Broadbridge Heath, then our Horsham-based host took us across country and we must have joined the Downs Link somewhere near Slinfold, which is about 5 miles further up than Copsale!

Maybe on a future occasion we ought to ask Ibelieveinfixies for recommended routes out of Horsham.

:roll: dam !!
yeh left it a bit late to get over ...was going to meet you at horsham
but ran out of time to get there and then get parked up somewhere,
you cant have been far behind because i only stayed down by the bridge
for about ten mins before heading back ....could have done with that
pint as well :cry: oh well next time ay.

I checked the pic and we were at west grinstead at 11.15 but not long after we had a puncture so doomed not to meet up. Hope you had a good cycle because if we had done it today it would have been terrible!
