London to Brighton II

Such a hot day, unbelievable, people melting along the roadside. Stayed in Clapham and had extra portions of Spaghetti once the waiter found out we were cycling the next day. We compared notes on great Italian cyclists, what a great place to eat.

The day itself started off hot and sweaty at 8.30am and finished in Brighton hot and sweaty and very tired much later. My computer failed and I don't really have any stats for the day, just to say that we finished in 5 hours, with a few less stops than last time. We really suffered, and I think I drank litres and litres of water in an attempt to stay cool. We were very grateful for all the little kids with water pistols and those kind people who put on their water sprinklers, especially as we approached Ditchling. Again it hurt, again I made it.

So, many thanks for everyone who's posted me money, all the dosh we got from work and those kind enough to leave generous donations on the website. So far, to date we raised £186.64 a big thank you.
