QECP Enduro 21st July
I did volunteer to pick him up from Byfleet, but Andrew insisted on riding the 8 or so miles to Dandy Towers as a warm-up for our trip to the Queen Elizabeth Country Park (QECP) Enduro. Was that 8 miles too far, that he’d later regret? Of course it was, but read on to find out why.

Ride report. Weds evening 5 June. Could it be Summer?
Rolling up at Hylands garage for a Weds evening Moles ride saw Yvette, Albert, Lee, Lloyd, myself and a sight rarer then hens teeth on a Weds pm ride … Muddy Dave, kitted up and ready to roll.
