Barring weather, hangovers, mechanical failures and a general lack of backbone, yes.

But quite slowly I think.

This isn't as popular as I first thought. Is that a) because its hilly , b) the thought of missing cake at Charlwood is too much or c) you are doing it but you're not telling me, you naughty people. Phil excepted

Oh I'll probably do this - anything for a change from the cr!

Normally quite a few from the club do this, Lee, I think they're like me hedging, thinking about it.

I can't do it this year but there's normally a meet at CSS and ride over via Chipstead Valley. It makes a good day's ride and the Hilly 50 route is a cracker...but hard. If you lose the ACC riders you start with then there's always loads of nice folk going round the course at a complete range of speeds so you always have some agreeable company.

It's always funny before the start as folk want to make a call of nature. With Ryka's being a biker cafe when you go to the loo you get the very amusing site on Hilly 50 day of a queue of men alternating leathers, lycra, leathers, lycra :lol: .

PeteS has asked me to say that his alternative ride will be doing the Hilly 50 and will be leaving css at 8.30am sharp.
Failing that meet at the Rykers cafe at 9.30 :cry: :cry: :?

Excellent ride. Turned up at Rykas to see a bunch of Agreeables already signed in so handed over my cake money and got a map. Lost Amy and some others at the start so set off up Ranmore chatting to Robyn and Phil and then somehow lost them too as our big early peloton spread out on the hill. After that it was a fast descent to Dorking, up towards Leith and up and down a few other hills, including one comedy slope that must have been pushing 25%+ at the top, before White Down, a blast along the top of Ranmore, back down and the final ascent of Box. Nice round of applause as I crested Box; which turned out to be for a Ballbuster.
Forgot to sign back in at the finish as there was a marshall from the Ballbusters having a frilly at the car park entrance so chatted to Brian and some other CR Agreeables before heading back home. Whole ride including there and back was 4 hours so average 14.1 mph and 2.5 hrs approx for the Hilly 50. (It was a metric 50)
Nice change from the CR but missed the bacon sarny.
