Another solo ride for me today
Was at the CSS at 9:15 waited 15 mins but no body showed up so I decided to do the club run on my own since it has been a while I didn't ride over 25 miles in a day!
The weather was cloudy in the beginning but then later on in the ride the sun popped and made the ride more enjoyable. On my way I saw Del on a junction waiting for Andy, we said hi and off I continued with my ride. I got to the pine cafe (it was closed) and had my bar snack that I got with me and set off to home !
It was a good 45 miles overall, I was hungry and knackered when I got home, couldn't wait to tuck into some food

Just popped out for a short one this morning, a very nice laney, quite hilly, 27 miler ([url=http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=197543]route[/url] which I've started and finished from the Swan pub in West Wickham as that would make a good meeting point for a group wanting to head out that way, very easy to add some more miles on which I'd normally do by heading down through Westerham in a Four Elms direction).

Chilly but lovely out in the sun with blue sky for a change. Took a new hill off the A21 called Charmwood Lane which is quite a long climb with a steeper section making it a fair climb up. Very quiet lanes where I was the only person or vehicle on them until Knockholt. The number of ramblers and horses outnumbered cars I saw until I was all the way back to the main Croydon Rd from the top of Titsey .

Quite a few cyclists out today and passed a VCL group on my way out just passed Coney Hall and then saw them again going the other way as I was heading through Knockholt, only noticed Geraldine was among their number when it was too late to call hello. Coming through Tatsfield and bumped in to and had a chat with Steve from GBs as he was heading out and rode with him to the end of the village where we went our seperate ways.

All in a very nice little ride, and an absolute joy to be back on the bike for the last three days after the colds, snow, and ice. Starting to feel like a cyclist again.
