I was soon onto the hairpin road, and with fresh legs ground up fairly easily...I was overtaken by quite a few faster (and younger!) cyclists, but decided not to stop at the busy cyclists cafe at the top. I reckon that would be a tough climb NINE times as they did in the Olympic road race.
I have signed up for the RideLondon100mile event on 4/8/13. 20,000 cyclists will do the 100 miles from the Olympic park to Boxhill and back, more or less following the Olympic route...I hope I get in.
Dropping down the other side I sped through the flattish Surrey countryside and on through Horsham to Barns Green, the village where my wife grew up, and family still live.
I took a small diversion to go and see the lovely Itchingfield Parish Church...where we were married 28 years ago!
As I arrived the rain started....
