A little different from the last shop ride but the thought of a Jayne Bishop ruby murry saw a good turn out of 13 riders to grind through the South Downs gloop. Parham Park beckoned to start the proceedings and a little excursion into Rackham wood to shelter form the wind and rain before heading over to Amberley and up onto the Downs via North Stoke. Once on top the going got a little messy so we tried to keep to the drier trails to no avail and just put our heads down and battle our way to the SDW from Burpham up the long drag that resembled a stream. A quick drop to Springhead car park up Kithurst Hill past the burial grounds to Chantry Hill and then a zig zagging descent in the fog ending at Greyfriars road and back to the shop. One of the worst nights in shop ride history, looking forward to February.
Thanks to Jayne, Tim and Martin
