Tuesday 3 August 2010 to Cranleigh

Trevor with the OHG/OHG except they left early at 8:45, however Trevor followed the route to Cranleigh and caught up with Norman and Cliff in Weare Street when cliff was mending a puncture. The three continued on to Cranleigh to meet Barry G coming the other way with the intention of intercepting the ride. At Notcutts Nursery for refreshments they were met by Dave B, Brian Staples, Jake and some other riders. Dave, Brian and Trevor road back together via Newdigate. From Epsom to Ashtead, (were the Garmin batteries failed) was 58 miles at 15.3 mph

OHG Ride Tuesday 27 July

Approximately 30 riders arrived at Betchworth for the ride. There was general confusion about where people wanted to ride and at what time they needed to back but it was finally decided that a group would ride to Barnes Green and the others would ride east and split into two groups. One was going to Westerham and the other to Yalding in Kent on the river Medway. Trevor, as the only Clarencourt rider, rode with the second group and on to Yalding, not realising though that is was going to be 43 miles at 17.3 mph! Return journey was passed Chartwell and up Botley and Burntwood Lane back to Epsom. 96 miles and 3,500 feet of climbing.

Warm enough to sit outside.

Trevor, Mick, Barry and Bryan Staples (just returned from wintering in Florida) at Sumner's Ponds today.

Tuesday 6th April 2010 Wiston. Knights Plants, Betchworth, 0945 65 miles. Dave Gill.

Trevor Hughes rode from Epsom to join the OHG ride form Knights Plants, Betchworth. Clarencourt were out in force today with 7 riders including Caroline Harrison, Jim Harwood with their gust rider Barry, Andrew Adams, Tony Mozzolla, and Mick Ayliffe who was at Wiston first, having had the assistance of a train to Horsham. A few miles into the ride there was a puncture and during the delay Rob Potter and Tony decided to continue on. Tony was not seen again during the day. Did his navigation skills let him down again? Mind you most of us had no idea where Wiston was or how to get there! A very pleasant ride in the lanes with the sunshine which makes a change from the cold and wet. Fast ride home with the wind behind. Andrew said :- Fraction under 6 hrs on the bike. 85 miles at 14.2 ave. (took train Worcester Park/Dorking AM) Home via Box Hill for pasty and coffee as needed more food and also to see very shiny bikes and kit in Dauphin!

Tuesday 2nd February 2010 Camelia Botnar, Cowfold. Knights Plants, Betchworth, 0945 & 1000, Colgate/50 miles. Dave Gill

As last week the fast and slower groups combined and started from Betchworth at 10am.
The roads were very wet with numerous dangerous pot holes but everyone survived unscathed if not a little muddy. Surprisingly there was still some evidence of snow which remained compacted in the center of some lanes. 50 mile round trip from Betchworth at average speed of 15.2 mph.
