On the 23rd September 5 dedicated members conquered the London to Brighton off road ride. Approx 61 miles if various terrain. The riders were David, Bill, Tracy, Trevor K, Jackie T. Massive thank you to Bill, Trevor and Tracy who had gone down to Brighton day before to prepare transport back for us all. The […]

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, […]

Four riders met at Nonsuch, Mick Curtis, Ed Pegg, Dave Clarke and myself leading. A lovely morning with bright sunshine and temperatures well into the high sixties (19°C) at nine in the morning. Our route took us out through Ewell and followed the Hogsmill River most of the way to Kingston Upon Thames. A closed […]

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 […]

Due to many of the club members being on annual leave only Digger Dave, Mick Curtis and Rohan Dubash met at Nonsuch to go for a ride on what turned out to be a lovely evening weather wise. David after doing a week of charity riding was pretty tired but still lead the small group […]

It was warm and wet when I arrived at the free car park in the centre of sleepy Hailsham, Sussex. A snooze was in order as the Google Maps travel time advice had quoted 2h:15m and was out by 25 minutes, and so with my ‘buffer time’ I had  a good hour to watch the […]

Bill Kent, Trevor Kite, Ed Pegg, Sean Slammon, Mick Curtis, Dave, ‘Digger’ Clarke, myself  and Bill Martin leading met at the usual location. The gamble was on, would we get wet or wouldn’t we, for the thunderstorm warnings had been issued for the day. Heavy spots of rain started as we left on our ride […]
