Saturday 21st December, off road, Leatherhead ish!


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.

This was quickly fixed and only made us ten minutes late on meeting the Phoenix club for elevenses at the Moat Cafe in the garden centre.


Slowly and surely the ranks of the Phoenix swelled with further arrivals for coffee. After coffee the group of around fifteen headed for Leatherhead, for a Christmas lunch and a beer or two, and I headed back to the car and home.

A short ride, but who cares, it’s the company that counts.
