Digg! this story.

Six of us out for a wet and windy DPNC Saturday ride. Standard Edenbridge Loop - out via Woldingham and Gangers Hill to Edenbridge and then back via Ide and Sundridge hills.
Greig was on his new winter Ribble and the others out were Pete, Omar, Mike and his kiwi friend Genevieve. Mike broke off for a shorter ride when we turned for Gangers.
I dressed right this time - sleeveless base under a long sleeved jersey and waterproof jacket. New DeFeet Woolie Boolie socks were excellent. After 90 minutes of riding in the rain my feet were still soaked but they stayed reasonably warm for the rest of the ride.
Time to fit the Race Blades too. They keep a lot of my road spray off me even if they’re not too good at keeping it off those immediately behind.
Elevation gain taken from TrackLogs as my GPS only recorded 625m.
Next week is a recovery week so my training plan is very simple:
Mon-Fri: 90 min recovery paced commutes each day
Saturday: 4 hrs in the Surrey Hills, mostly zone 1 & 2 with hard efforts on the hills
