Decided to take it easy with the last group as I'm still getting over that lovely cough that's currently everywhere. Started off a bit wheezily but things got better until I came up the Merstham drag at a nice clip - just couldn't quite maintain it to catch up with the earlier breakaway group (I'd stayed at the back for awhile with Ian and Phil N until I'd decided to go for it). Managed to do the full route via Norwood Hill, Charlwood and Rusper Hill but, not being a fan of Box, I came back with a small select group, that missed the worst of any climbs - except for that one back up Trumpets Hill. I believe it was Ian who said it was worse than climbing Box
I understand one of the groups tried reversing the old club run route - how did peeps find it?
