The feasting is over, and next Wednesday brings the first of the Spring Classics - the Hilly Over Fifty. For those who haven't done it before, this is most of the CTC Hilly 50 done at a gentlemanly or ladylike pace. Not for us the sweaty thrash to finish the course in two hours; we prefer to savour our pleasures - two hours to lunch, an hour of refreshment and lofty conversation, then two hours to tea. A steady pace, re-group at the top of each hill and no racing on the downhills.
Leave Dorking just after eleven, lunch at the Volunteer and tea at Annie's about four o'clock.

ps - no bonus hills this year ...

Mark, Just to let you know I regret I shall miss the over 50's Hilly 50 as I shall be in IOW helping daughter Natalie overcome (hopefully) the bizarre desire by the local constabulary to prose4cute my daughter for an alleged traffic infringement and the I will be acting as an outrider to help Paul Smith do a training ride in the Portsmouth are on Wednesday. Go to www.justgiving.com/challenge200 Hope you have an enjoyable ride.
Pity about that, Mike. Still, you got a good look at it on Saturday.
