There was the usual catching up with old pals that you hadn’t seen since last year, and a quick look around any thing interesting. Our normal posse of around seven was a bit depleted this year for various reasons, so set off as the famous five. This soon became the hardcore four as we’d lost one before the first turn off. The few times I’ve actually followed the original A21 route it’s been more of a rolling roadblock, and not that enjoyable. For the last twenty years or so, our group has always taken an alternative mainly B road route taking us to nearby Rye. Yesterday was no different, taking in some familiar and some new villages and roads. No congestion, no plod, no cameras,,,happy days. This year the food at the destination pub was given a swerve, as prices for average fayre have become ridiculous.
The return ride over a more familiar route was despatched in good time, ending in a well earned pint nearer home. A good day out on less than a tank of petrol, putting another enjoyable 150 miles on the mighty Fazer.
Glad the weather was kind, sounds like a great run
