Sunday 19th August 2007
BACK TO JAIL Last time we did this ride to the Old Jail, it was spoilt by bad weather. It's worth repeating though as the long downhill stretches make for enjoyable riding. The first half is quite urban until we reach the countryside at Coney Hall. We'll ride through Downe on the way to the country pub in Jail Lane. Then it's a steady climb to the highest point in Greater London before the 4 miles of downhill back to Croydon. 30 miles. Led by Mark W, details: 07711 688189 mark at pollardshillcyclists.org.uk
What will it be like? Mostly tarmac. Lots of hills including 2 short mountains to get up but made up for with the long downhills. Not good for beginners.
Where? Depart at 09:30 from outside Pollards Hill Library on South Lodge Avenue.
But I'd rather go off road if you're prepared to lead Stu
