Hilly Ride 26 April 2008

[Marek]

Graham, there will be options along the route for you to turn back if you feel you need to get back. Anytime in the ride let me know and I will be able to give you some directions/ideas as to ways to get back quicker from where ever we are. Depending on your state one of them could be to phone the misses.

Cheers

Guess I'd better get some energy gels in and order the new legs from wiggle !!

sounds nice but a bit long time wise for me as it takes 40 mins to CSS anyway. The club run is in total (for me) about 70 miles (10 miles to CSS and another back), so this would total at least 100miles making a ride time of about 6 hours + cafe stops. Maybe join the bunch for the first group of hills around dorking and then turn hime at Rusper.

After helping out at the SCCU this weekend I did a few turns up boxhill, ranmore common and the hill used for the ACC hill climb, I found the ACC hill climb the hardest, as Ranmore was steep but short, boxhill is longish but shallow whilst the ACC hill climb is a mixed bag with bad road surface.

Kieran if you need to get back then maybe turning off at Rusper would be best. I am going to ride up from East Grinstead, so an early start, but hopefully the others will go easy on me. I wish......

Marek, why not come and race Sunday round Bletchingly, still places available for entry on the line and a good chance to show the Paragon how strong you are and get ready for the Interclub......

120km 11.00am from Outwood Village Hall with some nice climbing upto the A25.

[Marek]

Cheers for the offer David, but I fancy doing something different this weekend. Good luck in the race, looks like it will be a tough one with some decent riders turning out.

So have we got anyone riding in our most local road race? It's always a good, well organised race too with a quality field on a hard but fair circuit. A good opportunity for some of our aspiring / improving riders to test themselves against the stronger local riders.

[Paul H]

so how long will this Hilly Ride be?

[Marek]

Paul, I think it could be about 80 miles or so, maybe a bit longer. But as I say, if you need to get back or have had enough there are plenty of possibilities to turn back.
