It's the Bec and Catford Hill Climbs this weekend - end of season classics.  The Catford, in particular, has strong claim to being the oldest bike race in the World, having been held regularly since 1886.  Short, fierce hills, which the best riders ascend in about a minute and a half.

The Wayfarers, wishing to pay homage to these athletes, and perhaps remembering achievements of their youth, will visit these hills on next week's Challenging Ride.  A minute and a half is an unlikely target, but we'll all get to the top, and be pleased with ourselves when we have.

Elevenses at Caterham, lunch at The Cock, Ide Hill, and tea at Gladwyn Towers, where Mrs G promises tea and cakes.  

Prompt start at elevenses, please - we'll have a bit to do.
