Sunday 29 January - Chichester Start
Only Phil & Mary were at the Cross at 9:30 which provided the flexibility to return via Runcton to replace a squeaking front wheel, and then take a route out through Tangmere. crossing the A27 and continuing up the hill to Upwaltham, down Duncton Hill, and into the lanes between Duncton and Sutton.

It was a clear, bright day, but with a cold northerly wind which made progress towards the north a struggle at times. We had one interesting encounter with two skittish horses that danced around in the road when they saw bicycles. We continued to Tiffins Cafe in Petworth where we met Richard who had mistaken the start time but still managed to arrive in Petworth ahead of us after negotiating the same skittish horses. We were then joined by Adrian, and a short time later Harvie and Jill arrived from Walberton.

We returned together toward halfway house and then took the Heyshott Road and the dirty lane up to the back of Cocking where we had tea at the Moonlight Cafe. Over Cocking Hill, Harvie went East from Singleton, Adrian disappeared towards Portsmouth, Jill, Richard and Phil & Mary continued down the Centurion Way back to Chichester - Richard being delayed by a puncture.
