PT writes: “RK, MA and PT today gathered at Pond green, MA having driven over to inform us that he had neglected to bring shoes so would not be riding. Such attention to detail in delivering an apology for absence in person is a testament to the maintenance of standards so prized by the FGCC.
Bidding him good day, Roy and Paul completed the four peaks clockwise, starting with Church Hill.
Completing the circuit without incident, save for PT having to push the new bike up the really steep bit between the A24 and Chanctonbury, the dynamic duo repaired to Julias, where traditional breks were taken.”
