Thanks for organising again Dave. Yes, I'm in. anyone want to share a ride? I was just thinking about how long it is since i've visited the 3 hills/North Downs. My last visit was on 11th August and the previous visit 12th May. That's three and six months ago or half a year folks! Whatever happened to my almost weekly visits that i've made in previous years? I certainly cant be accused of overriding those trails this year...

Sounds like a great route , would have been happy to join if it wasn't for that terrible man-flu that's had me for the last two weeks.

As I recall its the route you first joined us on back in the day when you got stitches I wish no one would remember but yes that was my first introduction to the DOMTB team. Boy did I struggle, managing to hang off the back with desperation and complete an impressive two out of the three hills before collapsing in the car park! Btw Bat, you still wore Lycra and tattoo sleeves back then !
