The perfect cure for disappointment

Postby Andrew G » Mon Aug 24, 2009 5:47 pm

Well after yesterday's debacle I was a bit disappointed but as I had got today booked off work the perfect cure.....

A nice gentle spin through some fantastic lanes with my Dad 8) . He showed me some new lanes I didn't know and I showed him a couple he didn't. A great route. I have no races this coming weekend so if the weather plays ball then I'll do it again on Sunday to see if I can remember it and help lock the lanes in my memory, I'll put a post up nearer the time if folk want to join me.

A great ride indeed. :) For media moaners always going on about 'disappearing rural England', a trip round this route should be prescribed. And it was my 50th ride this year! After Andrew's horrors about the near motorway A11/A14 section in his aborted 12 hour, a target was to avoid virtually all busy roads. Had about a mile of A22 south of Godstone, that was it. There's a whole new thread of discussion about whether CTT should ban sections like that in the ECCA 12, but this isn't the place for it, still in a good mood about the ride. Chapeau to Pete Koz. who first showed me the Woldingham School private road/bridleway cut through to Godstone.
