Meet StevePSD at his country abode. Faff/ Depart. Cold. No, Freezing on the Downs this evening. Into the woods and up a nasty climb. Warmed up when we hit the woods proper. Nice and steady this evening. Climb. Catch up. Talk retrobikes. Afan. Cars. Cake.. The important stuff. Out onto the Downs again. Warmer now. No stars. See villages twinkling across the valley. Trains. Cars. People inside everywhere. We are the minority. Outside. Mtb feels so slow compared to cross bike. Decend and arrive. Pack up car, say goodbyes and head off. Take the wrong turning on my way home from my own loop and get lost. !!!!!! U-Turn and head home the way I know. Eat pizza at 10.30pm. Best ride of my life.
