Only ten optimistic B riders took a chance with the weather and made their way to the lovely church centre of St Martin’s in Dorking. The weather had been very damp and there was a chance that we would get wet before we had even arrived in Dorking.
We set off for the short ride to our annual free wheel competition through some side streets to the south of Dorking High Street. This included an uphill recce of the actual downhill route, although this did us no favours as no B riders were prize winners on Brockham Green half an hour later.
We then put in a few more miles to develop an appetite for our lunch back in Brockham. Later on we cycled to Ashtead where we had the pleasant surprise of joining the Easy Riders for afternoon tea in the bike café.
Well done and thank you for the riders who took a chance with the weather, which was well rewarded as it was actually sunny when we left to make our various ways home.
Thank you Tim G for back marking the three sections of the day’s ride.
