Grumps into Kent, and not on a Tuesday either - 55 miles/88km

A trip into Kent to recce Exedown ahead of the World Hillclimb Championships, as suggested by the mountain goat himself, young Vedran.

Nice one Sam

Oooof.

Good ride.

Has the Hillclimb moved back to Exedown? I thought it had been switched to White Lane?

Lovely route Sam, sadly I'm working.

Do you mean the World Hill Climb Championship? Yes, it's at Exedown.

If anyone is put off by the profile, or Exedown. This is just a lumpy ride, none of the climbs are difficult in any way. You just go up them as fast (or as slow) as you like.

Looks EEEEEASY

I'm in Bristol all day for the Grand Prix on Saturday, so won't be able to join. Have fun.

What's a Grand Prix?

Looks like a nice route.

I might join you but probably won't know until Saturday.

Closed Circuit city centre race.

I got my company to sponsor it off the back of our project there, so have a team of tenants in the building racing in the team relay race. Should be fun.

Are you going to move to Bristol?

I practically do already...

Tidy

Am on Sunday lunch duties, so can't do the full ride, but will see if I can come along for the start and then peel right at Clarkes Lane.

This looks delightful and I am free (for the first Sunday in a while) so LETS GO!

This looks like a good hangover cure!

At the bottom. Off-load the weight.

I'll actually turn up to this one

@Sam-G no excuses boyo!

Did you get your gilet?

You're right (unless I get too hungover and can't face it!).

No not yet, I need to get in touch with Ricky and sort out a time to collect it.

Any more for any more?

Looks like being a nice morning for it.

I think the Toms are both hopefully coming - I just sent a message of encouragement
