As April 2025 comes to an end, it would be no suprise to me if it broke records for sunny days, but not necessarily warmth......until today that is.
A stunning day, where shorts & short sleeved jerseys were the order of the day.
Eleven met at Knights Garden Centre café outside, at the bottom of Pebblecombe Hill, a popular place that today was bathed in warm sunshine.
Leaving Lorraine, Dave & Audrey, we made for Earlswood Lakes for a short toilet stop (sorry folks).
Onward to Smallfield where due to a misunderstanding, Dave & Diane broke away from the pack to be reunited at lunch.
The Archive Cyclist's café is like no other.
Largely unknown to most, it's on the busy A264 east of Copthorne where you'll find bagels with various fillings, but not much else due to the three cycling clubs who'd polished off the cake offering.
Dave & Audrey had kindly arrived earlier to nab the tables & chairs on our first visit in 2025 to Brockham Church for their tea & cakes which always ticks the boxes, but for Bernard, it was merely somewhere to wash his hands after "tackling" a deep cut in the rear tyre & inevitable puncture.
I was happy to assist & provide a spare tube after several failed attempts.
Thanks for a great day!
