Five riders out today, Adam Domaingue, Ed Pegg, Bill Kent, Dave Elliott and myself leading. A cold, bright day with a 15mph wind from the west. The route out was towards Priest Hill, (Nescot area) and then the back streets of Epsom, before climbing up onto Epsom Downs. We followed the perimeter road around Tattenham […]
Saturday 23rd March, off road Flitton’s Nursery, Wallington.
Meet: 09:15hrs, Nonsuch Mansion Cafe. The weather is dodgy later in the morning, so the ride may be a little shorter and more direct than usual.
Saturday 16th March, solo off road* Wilde Brunch Walton Bridge
An unusual Saturday ride for me today. *With Surrey most probably in chaos due to the first ever full closure of the M25, I decided that the last thing I was going to try was to get to Nonsuch to meet the club run. Instead a cunning plan was hatched by Adam Domaingue to make […]
Saturday 24th February, off road Leatherhead Stories Cafe
Four riders met at Nonsuch Mansion: Bill Kent, Adam Domaingue, Dave Elliott and myself leading. A cold, frosty start today with dull skies, but at least no persistent drizzle unlike the previous couple of Saturdays, and very little breeze. The route took us straight out of Ewell and headed for the north-west corner of Epsom […]
Saturday 24th February, one of two café’s in Leatherhead!
Meet Nonsuch Mansion Cafe, 09:15hrs. Bring locks and waterproofs, the weather report is so far wet for Saturday, hence the Leatherhead closer to home stop, just in case!
Saturday 17th February, off road Claygate Cricket Club Cafe
Five riders out today, Bill Kent, Ed Pegg, Cam Watson, Mick Curtis and myself leading. Once again Met Office forecast was for overcast with mist. They must’ve meant overcast with drizzle. We set off the usual slippy slidey route out of Nonsuch Park through the ‘burbs of Ewell and climb gently through Horton Country Park. […]
Saturday 17th February, off road Cricket Club Cafe, Claygate
Meet: 09:15hrs, Nonsuch Mansion Cafe. Bring locks, and forecast says, ‘mist’ so you might need your lights.
Saturday 10th February, off road Garson’s Farm Garden Centre
Eight riders turned out for today’s perambulation: Ed Pegg, Bill Kent, Dave Elliott, Sean Slammon, Trevor Hughes, Tracy Caudle, Trevor Kite and myself leading. Given the size of the group I had to move the tea stop venue as the cafe in Thames Ditton was unlikely to have had the space. The Met Office forecast […]
Saturday 10th February, off road Thames Ditton cafe.
Meet: 09:15hrs Nonsuch Mansion Cafe. Bring sturdy padlocks.
Saturday 27th January, off road Bockett’s Farm
Five riders out today in the cold, Adam Domaingue, Ed Pegg, Bill Kent, Jenny Lee and myself leading. A little riding through the southern burbs of Ewell got us out towards Epsom Common. We carefully crossed the railway line and headed into a deserted Ashtead Park before the slight climbing started to get up to […]
