Off onto the SDW today, fingers crossed it’s dried out after yesterday’s rain and we avoid any big thunderstorms!

Erm, how are you getting on? Just been sheeting it down here (just south of D's PB - my local hill that you enjoyed so much yesterday!) heaviest rain I've seen for years!

Absolutely throwing it down the last hour or more at the Eastern end in Eastbourne

It'll be lethal chalk under the rivers of shite that the hilly bridlepaths will now be

Was wet today but not too slidey apart from a moment in a rut, hopefully make Eastbourne for some top gun wannabee action.

Well, that was a great route and ride, almost all off road, so nice to not have to worry about cars etc.

Made a vid of it

Nice video, @boardmanfs18.

I rode the SDW last August and some parts in your video are as clear as a bell in my memory but I have no recollection of other parts. Weird.

Yes, it was the SDW section of the video I was referring to. Maybe the pain of some of the climbs has caused my mind to blot them out. 🙂
