Sun Ride 15/11

[TimNick]

Not like me but due to the amount of standing water and 30mph winds will ride Sunday this week so if anyone's up for a 16/17 (no one gets dropped!) ride on Sunday (Kent way or Ranmore/Leith/Box poss?) let us know by post/PM. Can meet either GBs or CSS (I'm in Sarf Croydon after all)...

....for those riding Saturday take care and have fun!

[steve felt]

Im up for that . Just post meeting place and ill see you there.

[Bridget]

unfortunately I have a driving lesson tomorrow morning or I would join you. Don't worry, I won't be driving anywhere near where you'll be riding!

I might try to go for a ride tomorrow afternoon - the weather really does look rubbish today. poo.

[Rob Q]

Hey Tim, would have loved to have joined you, but have midday plans. Take care out there with all that surface water and debris.

[Antloony]

I might come out and play depending on the weather.

[andrewf]

Had the same thought Tim...I do need a fairly early start so if we can do 9 - 9.30 start all the better. Let me know
Cheers

Take care on the sharp lefthander on flanchford road (after reigate) - there was water right across the road last sunday when I did the club ride on my own, it would have been very easy to steer away from it - into on-coming traffic...

[killyridols]

I might be up for this, where are you meeting?

[TimNick]

Right then, Metcheck has forecast as dry from 6am and even the possibility of that strange yellow orb like thingy in the sky making the odd appearance, plus the wind should be a lot less on ye ole Beaufort scale!

....so...

Meet at CSS at 9amish, leave by 9.30am.....we can firm up route at CSS....

See y'all there for an Agreeable day trip into the country...

[steve felt]

See you there.

[Antloony]

I will do my upmost not to over sleep and miss this so hopefully see a few happy faces in the morning.

[Mike I]

I'm planning on going out tomorrow morning. I was thinking of a hilly 4 hours or so and even have a route in mind .

[Rob Q]

Was going to join you for a few hours, but had the Antloony problem and overslept.

Hope yo'all had a good ride.

[Marcus]

Got to css at 0928 and missed the group. Had a quiet ride on my lonesome

What a great day to be out on a bike.

[Antloony]

Great ride out today. Thanks to all who trundled along.

Mike took us along Chipstead valley road then round to Epsom through some very messy roads, debris and water everywhere but all part of the fun. We all did the Ranmore climb which I've not done before and its a bit of a tease, you thing its quite easy but its deceptive and a right little leg tester. Steve B and I said goodbye to everyone else at the top and headed back over Boxhill and onto home, not before having a serious speed blast down the 217 towards Sutton, cheers for that Steve

oh and I've never seen so many cyclists mending punctures as I did today, there were casualties everywhere you looked.
