Late notice I know but -

Seeing as I have most of the afternoon off .. anybody fancy an early evening MTB ride around Leith Hill.

Meeting at Boxhill and Westhumble station around 6 (will confirm train times later) and pace about easy/steady about 3 hours before dark. With a bit if luck this will be enough time to get to Leith Hill tower and back before dark. All bridleway so not too technical.


Also,

MTB ride from Coulsdon tomorrow Saturday morning. Leaving at regular club run time 9.30, circuit around Reigate Hill/Kingswood downs, back to Coulsdon by 12-12.30.

Nik, I've added the gorrick to the list.

Doug, well spotted, not sure what I meant by Oct 21, defo not Nov 21 because I'll be out in Penshurst preparing for the Addiscombe CX round the next day.

Also will try to meet the Dulwich CX training group this Saturday so not this week.

Probably Sat 14 Nov, I'll need to sort out my holidays before confirming.

There might be some night rides coming up sooner though.


Aodan.

I have raced at Gorrick and it's not very technical so a hardtail should be fine. I have a King Kikapu with 100mm fork and standard RP23 in back, which was probably overkill here but fine at say Afan, Cwmcarn, or the rootier descents around Leith/Pitch/Holmbury.

Fair enough, I haven't updated this with the more recent rides.

And ... I won't be doing anymore now until the new year so might kick something off again then. Or maybe even incorporate it into the new "Club Run - Run List" posting system that is running now. It make sense to have all the ride information on the one post.

Aodan.

PS In the meantime, anybody else, please feel free to organise an MTB ride.
