Dartford Tunnel Cycle Service bus
Found this image completely by accident! "How cool is this bus!?" Is not a phrase I'd ever expected to say!

Night ride
Had a good night ride in Kings Wood, a large Forestry Commission woodland on the North Downs.
It was mild and muddy.
We tested some new lights. Easy and stable fixing to the bikes, bright White LED - a claimed 1200 Lumins - three settings (although the flashing mode is likely to induce fits!) and good battery life. They were a bit of a gamble being cheap eBay imports... But they were excellent.
It wasn't a huge ride but a great way to spend a Friday evening and an added bonus were the deer running across our tracks.
Washed the bike off today.

Wye Resolution Ride
Everyone gathering at the Julie Rose Stadium.
Nice turn out for our Resolution Ride today from Ashford to Wye. Weather was bright and clear, if a bit chilly.
We followed Route 18. It's a shame about the Willesborough Road. It seems to act not just as a physical barrier but a mental one too. So this route to Wye is cut off from the main population of cyclists in Ashford. People are worried about the section along the road as it is a fast, narrow and twisty road. The cycle paths are pretty poor too although that's mainly due to the objections of the land owners. If the Conningbrook Watersports Park gets going, there could be a nice route through there avoiding the Willesborough Road section completely. It would be great to connect it up with the rest of the cycle network in Ashford too.
Anyway, today's ride was very nice.
Coffee break in Wye.
