To Brighton and not quite back

Long ride today, from Herne Hill to Brighton and back to Haywards Heath for the train back as it was near 6:30pm and the sun was low. Riding to the next station would have put us in darkness from the home stations or left riding with a low sun on the horizon, which makes you a great target for drivers who can't see you.

Ride summary TSS 321.1, 118.5km, 4h 32m, 1420m climbing, avg 238W, 295W norm.

Peak 30min was 353W/363NP and peak 5min was 464W/481NP while going up Ditchling beacon (109m of the 159m climb), which was a new high above my 449W from a couple of weeks back. According to CyclingPeaks that in theory puts me close to a domestic pro.. hmmm... maybe not... but should make a break on the criteriums more of a possibility.

Longest day out on the road at nearly 6:30 including stops.
