Two different rides with different start points to accommodate the numbers.  A very wet day and real soaking was in store.  Mark led his group of 5 over the downs to a new cafe stop at Oare on a 31 mile ride and Russell his group of 5 to Badgers Hill Farm at Chilham on a 34 mile lumpy ride.  All roads were very mucky and with rain lashing down all had very challenging rides.  All returned safely to dry out at home.
