Nice little ride last night with Snoop and Phil.
Started off in Wallington and then headed out through the bridleways to Epsom Downs and over the race course before looping back through Banstead and Woodmansterne. Nothing technical, just some nice traffic free trails.
Good to have a chat and a catch up. A very pleasant evening, arrived home in Croydon around 9pm with 25 miles on the clock.
One thing i've realised is that a mountain bike left languishing in the garage for a year doesn't ride well. There were squeaks and jumping gears a plenty......

[quote="higg"]I'm still at work so will miss this. Good Luck.

Cheers for the good luck Aodan - we (Phil, Dan and I) had a good ride through increasingly familiar territory. Phil knows his way about these tracks too so that was helpful, and he added a small loop on around Tadworth way just to keep it extra scenic. Went past an interesting looking pub, so I've banked that extra section for a future daylight ride inc beer stop.
The drop down through Great Solom's Wood was fun - almost completely dark
Thanks for coming out guys - here's to the next one.

Was a bit dark! Gutted that my bracket for my P7 torch broke and I was stuck with a commuter LED!
Have ordered a new heavy duty bracket for it so will be ready for next time....

Yes, it's getting to the season for lights. That torch of yours Dan looks really good. I notice that Amazon are doing cheap(ish) P7 torches now - which is easier than ordering from abroad.
That was fun. Makes a nice change from dodging the traffic.
