Just a relatively sedate 19 miles today. Did the usual 'orrible climb to the top of The Downs which is OK inasmuch as this pain is over and done with in the first five miles so the rest of the trip is relatively painless.
Took a piccie of My Mate Marmite at the top of The Downs before heading past the pub pictured. This pub always requires an immense amount of will power to pass, especially as it appears within 5 minutes of reaching the top of The Downs. It was worthy of a photo this time given the horses tethered in the horsey style parking bays (sorry - don't know the technical term for this!)
Judging by the objective of the Three Amigos to actually stop at a pub en route, I guess next time I pass the Hook and Hatchet, I should not feel too guilty stopping for a sharpener.
It was then back down The Downs for a ride up passed Leeds Castle once again and a leisurely ride taking in the country air.
With a Bank Holiday approaching, may have to plan a longer ride - and a pub lunch a la Three Amigos!
The only reason the Three amigos go cycling is for the pubs, however, I am never drinking alcohol again, I only managed 2, 10 mile rides this weekend as I am recovering from a severe hangover courtesy of the Royal Mews barbecue on Wednesday night, i was still queasy on Saturday.
