A charity ride (in part) for the Martlets' Hospice so you have to speak nicely to Simon.

A driving rain accounted for the roar as I crossed the Mole/Ember close to the Esher sewerage works. I recognised no one whilst at Tesco Brooklands so promptly returned. Home was reached in the dry(naturally!?)

and a line from our leader

"I dutifully rode to the meet at North Cheam this morning but no one else had turned up by 9.05.

As I was already fairly wet by now, having ridden from Walton, I abandoned the rest of the ride."

Hilly 50 March 6th


Ed and I need your help next Saturday (March 6) from 0900 till as late as you can stay. 70+ (1 CM, 1 MW) riders have signed up so far and if the weather's fine, hopefully there'll be a lot more on the day. Anyone used to handling money (possibly dirty) should apply. As neither of us has a car, drivers are especially welcome as we'd like to use the display thingie and/or Ed's pasting table. If you can pretend you know what's going on or just want to soak up the atmosphere, do come along. I recced the route very slowly last Wednesday, a wet feet jobbie especially where the Tilling Bourne had overflowed into Raikes Lane near A25. Surrey's highway engineers still havent located Longmore, Sheephouse and Hoe Lanes so the spirit of the ride is intact though hidden under several unavoidable pools of water. I've had printed routesheets/maps (B/W) and will produce laminated/coloured versions of same for display on the day. But if you want to make your own contribution (use up those old printer cartridges or whatever), please do so. Let me know if you can help (preferably this weekend as I'm for Stirling and back before Wednesday's dinner). Graham Hill 0208 549 0366

Sunday 21st February 2010


Due to a busted valve and change of inner tube, I did not reach the start till 9:20.
I was suprised to find, Steve, Anne, Richard & Tim still waiting.
We set off fairly briskly for a drizzle soaked ride to West Horsley, via Cobham.
Jake turned up at elevenses, where we kept a weather eye open to decide which route to Guildford. (Direct 5 miles, or over the Hill about 11 miles).
We decided for the Hill, up Shere Road, via Albury & Shalford. The Keystone was deserted when we arrived, but as they only provide full roast dinners on Sundays we decide to head for Wetherspoons. The heavens opened while we had our lunch, but the weather was good for the ride home. Group decision was to skip tea at Wisley and head straight home via Hungry Hill route.

As Richard hasn't posted anything this is a brief note to say you didnt miss much. This winter lingers on so it was another cold dank miserable day.

There was much evidence of the Evans' rides as I pedalled towards Horsley and a sprinkling of snow on the top of the Downs. At Shere they were already there; they being Bob, David, Richard, Ed, Jake, and Ray (the last three opting to go no further).

Going up the hill we passed the William Bray(who? ex Prince of Wales) and then it was down and up to Farley Green where Richard decided that Winterfold merited a visit. Naturally when we reached the Bricklayers in Shamley Green Bob was here to greet us. And there it ended as all had our own agendas.
