A Group October 18th
A mild autumn ride in Kent is rather nice,Wednesday was no exception with a hint of colour in the trees promised things to come in the next month. Ed, Pete B, Stephen, Tony, Frank H. Mike M & myself set off from Caterham down into the valley & a leisurely ride past the convent, climbing to the top of Titsey Hill stopping briefley at the junction of next Sundays Bec Hill Climb (87 riders £1000 first prize!) Ed. Sharp plummeted down towards Westerham – a mistake as we were turning left to Tatsfield (will they never learn not to second guess the leader) however we had a nice rest and chat awaiting his return! On to The Crown at Knockholt for lunch where Jen met us just in time for drinks on Mike Morley a birthday treat. Afterwards the sun came out Ed punctured & the lanes & day became very pleasant , a steep drop at Cudham down and up to Downe? being overtaken by a group of 40+ riders one of them dressed in pink said to me Good Afternoon Mr Oxx !! (he needs new glasses) Tea was taken at Coombe Wood in The Pond Tea Room afterwards we all took a walk around the pretty gardens glowing in the evening sun.
