Well spotted Pete!

Hilly 50

Well done Graham for an excellent event and for managing to gather so many cyclists to this great annual Hilly. Here you are at the finish as the last of the riders approach the end. Not sure if you were leaning on the post with exhaustion or just having a scratch but well done for riding out from Kingston and back and standing around in the cold to the end. Thanks to Ed for marshaling at Logmore Lane and to all the many helpers at the start for the signing on. Our special thanks go to all the riders who entered and took part, some 187, we hope you enjoyed your day. It was great to see so many participate from the FNRttC crew and we wish you all a successful 2011 season after this early season warm-up. Well done the tandem riders and also those on fixed especially if you got up White Down as I know one of you did who accompanied me. A special congratulations has to go to the old (young) man himself Ray Dare who at 84yrs finished in 2.1/2hrs. Phenomenal!!

Sunday 6 March

The temperature at nearby Effingham was 5C and with a north-easterly wind blowing it seemed considerably colder when ten of us left West Horsley Squires, destination Guildford. After a few hundred yards or metres east we turned north onto the bridleway which led to Lollesworth Lane, West Horsley. En route to Wisley airfield we passed The Hautboy, now scheduled to be converted into flats (Lady Harberton must be laughing in her grave). The airfield was approached via the bridleway through Bridge End Farm - carefully avoiding the free-range hens. The recent film crew left the airfield neat and tidy - another is due soon. Keeping to the lanes we passed The Anchor at Pyrford Lock then via Papercourt Lane, Old Woking and Jacobs Well and cycle lanes to The Row Barge, Riverside, Guildford. Baguettes etc are not served here on Sundays but we were allowed to have childrens portions of roast lunches, which most found sufficient. Having been advised of our coming the landlord had arranged a table (with tablecloth) in a separate bar, complete with real fire. Very pleasant ! Normal menu is available during the week - worth bearing in mind for a Wayfarers stop, possibly outside, riverside. There was a unanimous decision to have 3s at Ockham Bites, so after lunch we crossed the A25 via an interesting bridge then briefly rode alongside the A25 before joining the cycle route adjacent to the Wey and A3, leaving it north of Burpham and using the cycle track alongside the A3 to Ripley and OB. A dry day's ride, the sun was out a lot of the time but the last stretch was into a chilly headwind !

Lunch on Sunday is at The Row Barge, Guildford. They don't sell sandwiches, baguettes, etc on Sundays but will sell us childrens portions of roasts if preferred (as long as we eat up all the vegetables).

See you at Squires.
