Early start with 5am alarm Left with Mike Towner in tow and made excellent time to London - parking in a taxi rank just behind The Eye at 8 10 Nikki and Colin cycled in just as we off loaded the bikes and soon we were on our way over Lambeth Bridge and back over Chelsea Bridge then slowly we made our way through the back streets - eventually hitting open ground at Clapham Common. Cycled on through various parks linked by stretches of minor road until we found a coffee stop at Deer Farm
- a city farm . Not the quickest service as the place was staffed by 'volunteers' but lovely cake and hot drinks. Onwards determined to hit 30 miles before lunch
Finally stopped at The Farmhouse pub - for sandwiches Cycled over M25,round Gatwick and over M23 through East Grinstead before stopping for the night at
Brambletye Hotel 54 miles in all
