Alternate CR Sunday 7th June

[Andrew G]

Subject to rain, showers okay.

I'll be doing my alternate CR route (Bletchingley, Lingfield, Westerham, cafe stop, Pilgrims Way, Biggin Hill, options from there to be decided at the time).

Leaving CSS at 9.30 (leaving on time). Home for lunch but early bail options if required, just tell me in advance and I can point you at them.

Speed will be circa 19s CR speed, not anchored to a set speed (terrain is different etc) but a reasonable pace.

Bounce, fingers crossed for the weather.

I have never yet done a club run... so would this be a bit much for a newbie?

Not bothered about the pace (he says) more the fact i have never cycled in a group...

I meant to do one today but i slept in (again!)

When you say 19 i assume you mean mph... thats fine by me aslong as the hills arent too steep!

Might just see you there!

Rain stops play .

Some of the lanes flood in heavy rain too.

No wonder I could not find you, used my steel bike with mudguards due to the wet weather. Went out looking for you this morning, no joy but thankfully some sportive was taking place around my way, so jumped onto a group in Outwood area and proceeded to sit in for a few miles. Got a bit bored so decided to spice things up, one of my favourite roads is the road from Lingfield to Edenbridge so I went to the front and gradually built the speed up to 27mph. Got to Hever area and then turned off, I think they were a bit annoyed that I was not doing the whole event. Weather was ok for the first part of the ride but on my way home the rain started to come down and it got a bit chilly. Nice ride though.

Cheers

I half regretted canceling when the sun was out later, but wanted to put a post up early in case Toks or others were going to check before leaving home.

Although the weather perked up the torrential rain overnight would have made some of the lanes I intended to ride horrible. Instead of using my steel winter bike I cleaned it instead, so my commute can now be done on something that doesn't look like it's just been dragged out of a canal.
