Commentary
It was part sunny and 17C today, mostly downwind with a short section into the wind. The route was entirely on pavement. There were lots of hills, a small number were short but quite steep, the rest were shallow but long.
I visited 2 LFB fire stations at West Norwood and Forest Hill, Lewisham Town Hall and 8 blue plaques. The Annie Beasant blue plaque was partly obscured by a wall climbing plant.
