It was a bit drizzly at Nonsuch, and only two riders were available today, Ed Pegg with myself leading. The route: Horton, Epsom Common, Ashtead, Staine Street and descending into Leatherhead to the south. At that point came the realisation of the date, 28th October which is ‘Bockett’s Farm Halloween, kiddie mayhem of hell weekend!’, […]

Bill Kent, Ed Pegg, Jenny Lee, Tracy Caudle, Trevor Kite, myself, and Bill Martin was leading. A shortish ride due to the unsociable nature of this storm the media have sensationally called ‘Babet!’ Poor weather, raining at the very start. It became dryer for a while, and we dodged a major drenching as we were […]

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.

Two riders met up on a warm overcast morning in Nonsuch park. Bill Kent and Myself Adam Domaingue. As we were the only 2 members out we decided to take the straightest route to the bottom of Box Hill. Out of Nonsuch, through Horton park, over Ashtead Common, and then picking up the A24 cycle lane […]

Tracey, Trevor K, Rohan and Adam met at Nonsuch mansion in what was pretty miserable weather. Only a passing shower so they ventured on their way to meet the ride leader David Clarke at Horton Park as he was unable to make it to Nonsuch in time due to prior commitments. By the time they […]

Five riders set off from Tracy’s place at East Grinstead: Tracy Caudle, Jackie Townsend, Trevor Kite, Bill Martin and myself. Despite the BBC forecast of ‘No precipitation expected,’ we departed in drizzle! The humidity was high and the temperature in the mid 70’s, so Summer in Britain. Fortunately around half hour later into the ride […]

Five riders at Nonsuch today, Bill Kent, Mick Curtis, Ed Pegg, Sean Slammon and myself leading. It was a weather gamble day, overcast, threatening rain and so I chose a direct route to the Wilde Brunch Cafe. Ewell, Chessington South, Claygate Common, Arbrook Common, Thames Ditton and finally rolling out onto the Thames tow path […]
