Trevor's Birthday Breakfast Ride to Oxted

There's nothing like the offer of a free breakfast to get the lads out on their bikes and so 15 people turned up for Trevor's Birthday Breakfast Ride to Weherspoons at Oxted on Sunday. John Aitken even stopped a train to London Bridge to greet the group at Merstham.
Jim rode out from darkest Penge and Barry and Caroline joined us by van. Trevor did the honours and lead us all in an orgy of breakfasts before returning to the Wetherspoons at Purley for the usual consequences. On the return Barry descended off the North Downs in great style, missed the turning off to the Nunnery and was never seen again.Looks like Paul Kelly made a break for it approaching Caterham but was hounded down.And we all got home safe and sound and in the best of spirits. A good morning out, in good company, lovely weather, and beautiful scenery. Happy Birthday Trevor!

Cheam to Sumners Pond 18 October 2009

Mick Ayliffe, Trevor Hughes with welcome guest young Chris Green set off from Cheam to Sumners Pond, a distance of some 32 miles. They collected Ev Equistorff at Walton pond and proceeded through the lanes via Rusper and Warnham Station to arrive at Sumners Pond for refreshments whilst sitting outside in the lovely sunshine. Much of the return journey retraced the route out but with a detour through the Dorking gap and back via Epsom. Chris rode well considering his previous rides were of only approximately 25 miles. Late in the ride a twinge of cramp and some tiredness was overcome with an energy gel that assisted Chris in completing the ride. Well done Chris a ride of over 60 miles.
