Sunday 21st August ride

Riders: Jake, Nick, Luke, Steve and Rick.

We decided to go south and east, via Headley, Pebble Hill, Betchworth, Salfords, Outwood, Blindley Heath, Bletchingley, Merstham, before stopping for cream cake and refreshment at Fanny's Farm. Then back to Epsom via Chipstead and Banstead

Riding time was 2:46:48 to do 43.6 miles, average speed 15.8mph, elevation gain of 3,000 feet, 2,500 calories burned (and 2,000 calories put back on.!)

A nice sunny morning. No punctures but we could have easily come off on the freshly chipped roads.....at Chipstead !!.....where the loose chippings had formed chipping dunes.

Congratulations to Luke and his wife for announcing the start of a family due in March...well that was the excuse he gave for not coming to Majorca with us in April. We did explain that he might need a holiday by then. Rick can't make it either as it will still be school term.

That leaves me, Nick, Jake and Gary...any more takers for Majorca?
