Hilly 50k - Saturday 7 May or in Your Own Time - Don't Miss It!

This year’s Hilly 50 will be on Saturday 7 May 2022 from Ryka’s, Dorking. Sign on from 9.30am. Finish at the top of Box Hill.

The route, and all the hills you love are unchanged. The date has been moved from the traditional March to May to guarantee fine weather and the most pleasant traverse of Logmore Lane imaginable. For full details including the route see our Hilly 50 web page.

Last year we learned to be flexible, so if 7th May is not suitable, you are welcome to do the ride alone or with friends at any time of your choosing.

If you've not yet experienced this memorable ride, this is definitely the year for it! And check out the video by Charlotte Barnes who rode the 2010 Hilly 50 on fixed.

For those not familiar with the route I plan to organise a sensibly paced group ride, including a welcome (for me at least) mid-ride coffee stop at Heartworks. Please let me know if you are interested (d.vine207@btinternet.com).

As in previous years we ask riders to support St Raphael’s Hospice, a cause close to the heart of our late organiser, Mike Morley. Donations of £10 (or more if you prefer) via our JustGiving page to this most deserving cause.

Good to know that the route is fixable. Is Charlotte Barnes still riding Fixed ?

More into big motorbikes and photography now I believe.
Hoping to have my photo taken by her on 12th August.
