Sundays 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st December 2006
It is with regret this post has appeared late.
This is due to the rather hectic festive season getting in the way of normal service and my inability to get "work, rest and play" in the correct order.
The AGM on the 10th was attended by around 25 of the usual suspects.
The most notable "area of concern" was the suggestion the C&M rides should be graded for severity (Richard D take note!).
Simon's ride to Edenbridge, a week later, was granted fine weather and lunch in the churchyard was very agreeable with just enough heat in the sun to take your gloves off to eat sandwiches.
The ride fragmented on the way home when Simon revealed his choice of climb over the North Downs - the wretched Titsey Hill.
Christmas Eve was a revelation in the support I received on this short ride to Stoke d'Abernon via Box Hill.
Clearly the fact that Ann brought along mince pies, shortbread, port, sherry etc really put everybody in a good mood with plenty to go around, even to the car assisted Pete Beyers and family at 11's.
Spirits were high so I used this to my advantage with the 2 mile track across Bookham Common to a quietish pub, Old Plough at SdA.
For most, thoughts of the following day's activities meant early departure from lunch to begin the build up to the big day & beyond.
New Years Eve was low key in both attendance and destination (Wetherspoons in Leatherhead). Thanks to Ed, Jake & Richard and already there Pete M, Ray, Terry, Graham, Pam, Irene to be joined by Keith.
Happy New Year

New Years Day
New Years Day RideI arrived at the Spring Ewell to the welcome sight of 17 riders fit and ready to ride. Lisa, Les Johnston, Brian Starey, Dave Elliot (Clarencourt), Toni Zeolla, Carol Dockett, daughter Anita, Don Clark, Shirley Q. Ed. Sharp, Lynda, Terry, Norman, Grant P, Steve Cox - & Keith Rook who picked us up on route. At the café in Richmond Park we met even more familiar faces also riding in by bike Graham, Pam, Irene, Carolyn Beer, Frank C, Judy Margery & a host of cycling Margerys: Iain, Carolyn, Nicholas, Ben; Pete Matthews, Pete Barnard, Dennis Broughton & Don Stockbridge completed the group with non cycling friends Ron & Doreen, Tom Fish, & Betty Johnson.
We arrived at Ed’s for a super layout of chilli con carni, hot sausages, rolls and a wide selection of cakes, followed by a slide show of the French Alps & The Dolomites taken in 1962 – 1964 by Grant. Matthew Pendry’s show of a 2006 trip to Ecuador followed and then Highlights of 2006 Club trips followed by Paul Day's CTC tour to Nepal & the Himalayas. Simon, Jen & Jake rolled up at tea time to get another demonstration of Ed's new “Ferrari"!

Sunday 3rd December 2006
Those who woken by the wind and rain had thought better of it missed a fine autumnal day. Only four came (Ed, Graham, Irene, Jake) and they came alone to 11's. Most had tales of fallen branches to which I could add a long flooded section of Plough Lane Cobham. All had started in rain but soon blue skies and gusty winds were the order of the day. Ed had decided to shorten the ride so we headed through Ripley, left at the Seven Stars and through Old Woking to Mayford. The BYOs were in the majority so lunch was taken initially on a log in Mayford Meadows. Before long I espied Pete and Lisa in the distance and a text message from Jake lured them to our hideaway. The nearby garden centre provided soup, tea and cakes; this turned out to be a wise choice as the sign outside the Mayford Arms read 'No Food Today'. Ed now led us on a tour, neither magical nor mystery, past Woking's football ground and town centre and onto the A320 (N, as the Yanks would say). Fortuitously this has a cycle path with obligatory fallen birch. Finding myself at the front, I suggested Brox Road. With no dissenters, we were soon at a tea stop in Tesco’s Addlestone (yet again).
