The first chilly ride of the start of autumn. Four riders out this morning with some of our usual crowd missing due to taking part in the ‘London-ish to Brighton-ish’ off road ride. Bill Kent, Mick Curtis and Ed Pegg joined me for the ride to Leatherhead. Nothing too exciting, out the back of Ewell, […]

Fortunately around half hour later into the ride […]
