Sunday 8th November: Fun ride
« Thread Started on Nov 5, 2009, 9:33pm »
We havent done a 'fun' ride for ages i.e. visiting all the hot spots on Pitch Hill and Holmbury Hill.

Who is up for a meet at Holmbury YHA this Sunday at 9-30am?

Could you confirm what a 'fun' ride is.
Does it involve a) miniature clown bikes b) silly costumes c) 'crazy' helmets?

I wont be there unfortunately.
Im suddenly not allowed to do anything strenious at the moment like bike riding or time in the gym which is a bit of an inconvenience, and slightly worrying too...

See you all soon though I hope.

I can get to Dorking for 9.02. National Rail says trains are fine but tfl is saying I need to take 2 buses as well as a train! Assume all is fine unless I call tomorrow morning.

Thanks loads for the lift
