22/30

Stupidly windy ride. Out round Healy Nab and White Coppice, up the steep road climb to Lead Mines where some nice work on the gates with another rider gave him a clear run on the top 2/3rds and me a clear run on the 2nd 2/3rds. Splendid. Up the road climb to the bottom of the ICR, up there (saw Matt coming down into the wind. He was going about the same speed down the hill as I was going up :) Missed the Pike out as I was bored of the wind by then down Jon's 200 yards then buggered about in the woods for a bit. Nice ride, hard work.
