September 16, 2023,Hythe Sunday 30 (But on a Saturday)

My current longest ride. So good on the first section out to Newchurch, big skies, calm morning. Busier mid section and finish but a few speedy hills that are worth the climb. Will ride again to hopefully get my gear changes better, increase overall average speed.

September 30, 2023,Sat morning 30mi around Hythe and the villages

Found this one a bit tougher as had a bit of time off on holiday. Too much food & wine

January 14, 2024,Hythe Newchurch 20 mile Sunday

First time out in a while, first time in cleats. Fell off at Hythe Station Traffic Lights. Was good to be back out, looking forward to some spring rides. New seat felt good too.

October 7, 2023,40 Miles, ending with a loop up to Knoll Hill

An Espresso, a Jaffa Cake bar, then out the door at 06:00. Will admit, it got tough towards the end
