Welcome to Dave with his nicely turned out blue Westfield who was already at Buck Barn before I arrived. Steve, Russ, Mark and Neil were all chatting soon, but I had a message of woe from Richard who'd slept at work with his Locost to be able to come on the run (that's dedication!) only not to be able to start it in the morning. Sorry Richard, we missed you.
The route worked out pretty well, but I had placed a waypoint on a very narrow road to avoid the speed humps at Ditchling, and it turned out it was access only......oops!
Anyway the weather was perfect, the traffic minimal and only a couple of potholed roads, so I hope we all enjoyed it. Neil had a slight navigation error and I saw him disappearing down the slip road onto the A27 near the end, it was a confusing junction, but he joined us before the breakfasts had been served.
Colin, Matt and Tony T were all waiting at the Chalet, along with some Rhocar members who were all asking for Neil. While we were enjoying breakfast a couple of Elises came in with Graham leading.
On the way out I got chatting to a biker who has a Locost at home, he built it from plans about 20 years ago, so I suggested he check out the forum and join us on a run.
I only took two photos very similar to the ones Russ took, but here they are as evidence:
