Ride Report: Sunday 09 Feb – Single-speeds rule OK
As always on rides where I have an influence on the route, today’s ride was dictated first by the food stop, and then by the trail conditions. Following our earlier visit to Ye Olde Sandwich Shoppe in Shere, I have been entering their weekly Facebook competition. This week I was the lucky winner of a free Breakfast Baguette, and determined […]

It’s Pimms o’clock … again

Here comes summer (fingers crossed)
Pre-ride faffage and trips to the undergrowth…
