I'm thinking about doing this with my 13 year old son, but we might take longerr (2½ hours?) to do the 30 mile shorter route but we could go via Leith Hill for a shorter/steeper route!

Not a problem. Happy to go with whatever suits and I'll be glad of the company.

Oh pants, double booked, I can't do a morning ride, how about in the afternoon instead?

That should be fine. I think you have my number, I'll PM it.

I'll still be up for the morning if anyone else is interested.

Bezzer? Kenno? Bockers?

Mark and I had a more leisurely ride on Saturday afternoon, with my son in tow (althouhgh he left me behind at the start going up Box Hill) and we did just over 30 miles at almost bang on 12.5 mph average.

Not sure how easy it's going to be to get anyone else out on an fccuk ride before spring next year, it's been almost impossible so far!

Safe cycling everyone!

October is a tough month for me to get out as I play Hockey on Saturdays and there is 3 birthdays and one wedding anniversary to accomodate, which normally means a meal on the staurday or sunday.

How about an FCCUK xmas ride? Involves 30-40mile ride which finishes at a btreakfast stop where we have a full english I organise one starting and Finishing in Maidenhead. Mayeb teh 22nd or 23rd December.

We could start iand Finish at the Tanhouse in Rusper?

Or Cobham as there are a few Breakfast cafes too.

The important thing being the breakfast comes at the end of the ride, cycling on a full stomach is not pleasant.

Sounds a plan bockers. keep us posted.

It was a very pleasant ride on Saturday. Lovely day for it and good to meet G junior - who seems a really nice lad. (Dave I was really struggling the last few miles home, so I'm very glad we went at a measured pace - think I'd have been in all sorts of trouble otherwise)

Did a bit of training today :-

Awesome

Recognised a fair bit of Bristol in that too.

Any interest in restarting these?

Perhaps when I'm back from Brasil next month?
