Reminder - Hilly 50k This Saturday 13 April

A reminder that this year’s Hilly 50k will be next Saturday 13 April 2024 from Ryka’s, Dorking. Sign on from 9.00am, depart at 10am. Finish at the top of Box Hill.

The route, and all the hills you love await you. For full details see our Hilly 50 web page.

Stop press after yesterday's final route check. Logmore Lane has been beautifully resurfaced - ride it while you can.

If 13th April is not suitable, you are welcome to do the ride alone or with friends at any time of your choosing.

Last year we succeeded in tripling the number of female riders to three. This year we hope to increase that number and also continue to attract a wider group of riders who might not normally attempt such a ride.

If you are not familiar with the route, or nervous of the hills I plan to organise a sensibly paced group ride, including a welcome (for me at least) mid-ride coffee stop at Kings Head Shop on Pitland St, Holmbury St Mary. 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. So far we have raised about £450 of our target of £1,000. Entry is free but donations of £10 (or more if you prefer) via our JustGiving page (with Gift Aid) to this most deserving cause.
