Ditchling Beacon - Done!

My son Nick's cycling experience and ability continue to improve and expand. He is now riding a full size bike which curiously was originally his older brother's, was sold to my friend Nick and remained largely unused and which now I have bought back. His speed and strength have both improved in recent weeks - today we tackled a short sportive out from Plumpton, 48 kms but which included the climb of Ditchling Beacon. We managed to get back in under 2 hours, which is his best average speed yet. The climb did not give him any problems either, whilst many were walking up.

Chapeau!
