Love to come Marco but am going to have to do a longish road ride Sunday as missing the Saturday CR. Do you normally ride out to Leith or meet there? I usually drive to Westcott, park and take one of several singletrack routes up to the tower, bomb down to Holmbury, up Holmbury Hill then down to Peaslake along BKB, then up to Pitch and work back in reverse via High Ashes Farm to the tower for arguably the best fruitcake and cup of tea in the UK. 0730 start gets me back for lunchtime.
I guess if you ride out, maybe via Reigate Hill and drop down to Dorking/Westcott via Box Hill you can make a day of it.

Suitable for people who have ridden a few times off road before - not really suitable for complete mtb novices



Does that rule me out then :?:

I may be able to make it :D , or may have to go to Heathrow to fetch the in-laws..... :cry:

What time from :?: EC

I'm hoping to get a rare double day permit this weekend to allow me to make this as well as the clubrun on Saturday.

More news to follow.

Stu if I'm driving i will have space for one person + bike(s).

If Grahame wants to pop down mine on his way, he could probably fit you or your brother in his car.
