A cold, damp start to today’s ride with  six starting off from Nonsuch, Bill Kent, Sean Slammon, Tracy Caudle, Trevor Kite, Bill Martin and myself. Bill Martin was leading, so naturally there was mud! Along the Hogsmill out of Ewell and then into a boggy Horton Country Park where Tracy got a front wheel puncture. […]

Only two riders out today due to the Kingston Phoenix Christmas lunch gig. Adam Domaingue and I set off and followed the Hogsmill River to Kingston. After crossing under the A3 we encountered a section of the river path that had been wrecked by ’Planned Improvements.’ Unfortunately for everyone the recent storms and heavy rain […]

Four riders out today: Adam Domaingue, Bill Kent, myself and Bill Martin leading. The weather was overcast with light drizzle, or as the BBC Forecast calls it: “0% chance of precipitation.”  Plenty of thick mud to contend with today, covered up with a lovely layer of leaves to give it that ‘Man trap’ effect when […]

Four riders met at Nonsuch meeting point this morning on an overcast, but still day. Hardly a breath of wind, which had led to mist in places on my drive over. Nevertheless a reasonable morning for Tracy Caudle, Bill Kent, Ed Pegg and me to perambulate the fine, muddy countryside of Surrey. Our route: Ewell, […]

Two riders out today with others either away on hols, family stuff or not well. The latter, get well soon Bill.

It was a bright, chilly morning, with for the first […]

Bill M, Trevor, Tracy, Digger Dave and Ed met at Dorking for an offroad ride over to Holmbury Hill. Route 22 as far as Abinger was followed then an up hill track towards Peaslake where we stopped for coffee and refuel at excellent local shop. From here it was all up and down hills  including […]

Ten riders out today, a 50/50 split between the Clarencourt and Phoenix, with the two groups meeting at Horton Country Park, where I started my ride from today. The route, Epsom Common, cutting east to Ashtead Common via a clay mound type hill, which we all enjoyed climbing.  Across the railway at Lower Ashtead and […]

A group of 7 riders led by Digger headed off on an offroad route to the Woolpack pub in Banstead. The other riders were Cam Bill Andy Ed Rohan and Trevor Hughes. A friendly group of Addiscombe riders on Gravel bikes were encountered at the pub. The return ride was through the woods of Banstead […]
