Oxted Riverhead Ide Hill Loop
My first training ride of 2017 and a challenge due to general low fitness and a lingering cold. The roads were wet, and it wasn't supposed to rain but it did. Lightly but for about 15 minutes.
I stopped at my highest point (Stubbs Wood, near Ide Hill) to take a photo, and at Rectory Lane on Pilgrims Way for a traditional photo.
Otherwise I pressed on, focusing on keeping a good cadence going.
The route is familiar so I was able to see how I was losing about 5 minutes every 30 minutes, compared to my usual speed. The weather was cool, and the wind was from the West, so I felt it on the return. I decended all hills slowly due to the wet conditions.
