not me - last night and the weekend were plenty!

I'm out tonight, but not the hills.
Plan is Straight on to, and down Titsey - left and 1st right at Limpsfield lights - then left to drop in to Westerham before returning via Botley Hill. About 25miles if anyone fancies a flatter, rolling route.

I'll start at Selson lights at 6:40 with the hill group if anyone fancies a change. If not see you Saturday.

Andrew.

5 set out, but only 4 made it back. I think Peter was suffering with a bad foot and turned back early (hope the brake cable works its way out soon). :shock:

The other 3 joined me for an alternative route. No real steep climbs but a couple of drags and returned up my favourite Botley 3 step climb, where Mr. Lombari stormed away with his new tantric climbing technique. Slight embarassment at the top where I failed to twist my foot far enough to de-cleat and promptly keeled over sideways. :oops:

I hope you didn't miss your hills too much, I was grateful for the company.

Cheers,
Andrew.

P.S. New top speed today descending Titsey hitting 54mph. That's that what hills are for. :twisted:

Thanks to the Andrews, Phil and Peter for last night's jolly pleasant jaunt in the country. A perfect evening for suffering up hills!

It was a pleasant alternative to the big hills. May be we should vary this ride each week. So looking forward to next week with some alternate routes - up Beddlestead Lane would be a better route than going along the 'orrible Limpsfield Road/Croydon Road. How we vary it further out is up for any suggestions. You have started something now Andrew, so you best be out next week to lead the way :wink:

[quote]54mph?..wow..you need to tell me where this hill is immediately!

Are you chaps out tonight ?

by **David Lombari** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:13 am

I don't think I will be due to football and a bad weather forecast.

by **Richard (Apples)** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:33 am

Thats probably a good choice....I've already been soaked once today on the ride to work !

by **David Lombari** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:47 am

The forecast I heard was not just for rain but localised flooding. I don't fancy some of those descents, or ascents for that matter, on water-soaked, slippery roads so left the bike safely snuggled up this morning.

White clouds and sunshine, no sign of rain or thunder, so see anyone else who's out in about 40mins (6:30) at GBs.
