Start:East Croydon Station 10am
Route: Will try and do the one Grahame took us on when it was still snowy. Heads up towards Selsdon via Conduit Lane and then down Ewoks (sp?) to the end of Courtwood Lane. Up the silly steep side of the golf course and then through to near the White Bear (memory's a bit vague on this section so it might end up "I'll remember it when I get there" or "hmmm lets try this way" - do remember it was a walk up a silly steep hill to come out at the farm by the pub though). Bit of a hack along cross country /woods to drop down by Sparrows Den. Then head back maybe via a ride through the woods at the top of Sparrow's Den.
All the above is dependent on me remembering where I'm going (if Grahame or any others who know the route I mean can't make Sunday). If I get lost though I'm sure we can find our way out the woods and the like somehow
.Not a beginner's ride but not a nutter's ride either.
I'll post to say I won't be going if the weather says it's going to be raining.
.
. The stretch up Old Farleigh road there is a narrow trail on the bank by the side of the road but those wanting as easier ride up can stick to the road if they want. I'm not sure of the bit from Jewels Wood on but we followed a nice trail that dropped down to, I think, near Keston. I'll probably look to make my way from there back to Spring Park at Sparrows Den and cut through the woods at the top of the playing fields and then back down at the end of the field as there's a bike path that runs parallel to the Mad Mile (Kent Gate Way) and brings you in to Addington Village by the (trivia fact alert) oldest cricket ground in the World. I'll just head back from there past Addington Park but for Croydon dwellers going up Spout Hill and then along the top on the path by the edge of the woods towards Trinity RAB would be more interesting.
