....A few guys from our football team, Tornados, decided
to cycle to Brighton yesterday.

The pelaton
We lucked out on the weather and thoroughly enjoyed the
ride - the first half was mainly busy roads, but the second
stint was along beautiful country lanes.

Halfway house
At this point, john's bike gave up the ghost. A taxi came to
his rescue and whisked him off to the nearest train station
to catch the next train to Brighton.

John is out of the race
The final leg of the cycle saw us tackle 'Devil's Dyke'.
I managed to get to the top without having to walk -
more than can be said for John, Liam, Quoc & Johnny!

Devil's Dyke summit
We cycled the final leg in to Brighton, with ice cream, beer
and food as a reward - in that order!
