Super-wet morning but managed to find a new road route over the downs to Lullingstone which I'll check out further on Friday when it's dry. No pictures but really glad I got out and stretched the legs.

21 miler to take the lasses ebike battery & charger to the bike shop for assessment. Fortunately it's in a canny spot for a ride. Stopped off at the Big Lamp Brewery for a pint on the way home.

Re:
Didn't go out yesterday, as I took it as a rest day. The weather was worse today, having rained almost all day. Trails were very muddy. Tried to avoid field edge paths, where I could. Had to go out today. So tried to stick to mostly quiet lanes. Out the back of Much Hadham, towards Standon and the A10, are plenty.
Splashed my way around about 17 miles. Clogged the frame and forks again.
In the rain an old mtb comes into its own as I caught a roadie. Fat tyres vs skinny, in the wet, I'll take the fat. We chatted briefly at a junction, while waiting to emerge. We both laughed at how the conditions were perfect, apart from the rain.
Late afternoon
About 19°c. Spitting when I left, developed into steady rain for about two thirds of the ride. Calm - no wind

Warm 17 degrees, light drizzle, hardly any breeze. Thankfully the forecast rain didn't show up. The roads were still sodden and the trails more so, so I headed up to Cheslfield then up and through to Badgers Mount and Knockholt. Nothing too strenuous but with a single gear, it made some of the 10-12% rises fun 
Looking back toward the big smoke, one of the last views before you pop over the top of the North Kent downs. The bump to the centre right is Shooters Hill.
On the decent before a right hander back up the hill, some cunt had left this and presumably has tried to pin it on travelers. Nice try except it's house clearance and builders rubbish. Twats :evil:
I'm sure it's nothing to do with this firm but a few check would probably create some leads...
