Ride report Wed evening, 15 May – Lone Mole leaves the burrow
I wasn’t expecting to see anyone at the garage as I rode up Eastwick Road at 7.30pm, my forum post eliciting a sole response from Kev telling me that it would be ‘Dark side only’ for him. It was clearly an omen that he ended up stuck on the M25, and I don’t think managed to get a ride in […]
Ride report: Sunday 12 May – Reigate ramble
A simple cross country ride to Reigate and Gatton Park on the Orange Gyro
Ride report – Sunday 5th May 2013 – Bank Holiday Sun?
A simpleplan to take in a long route to Newlands and enjoy as many miles as possible in the Bank Holiday sunshine.
May Day Fun
A small and (I’d like to think) perfectly formed company of Moles met for the ride in ‘late spring’ evening sunshine. Small, as for some reason inexplicable to me, a sizeable portion of the Moles preferred to utilise these superb conditions by rolling around on the tarmac rather than sampling the dry and fast-running trails that abound locally. Apologies for […]
Ride report: Sunday 28 April – Still Sunny
Earlier in the week the weekend had looked like it could be a washout with hailstones forecast at one stage. Luckily the forecast changed as we got nearer the weekend and the sun stayed.

Weds night ride with two Moles and a Troll.
Riding up to the usual meeting point at Hylands garage on a freezing cold evening with the threat of snow in the wind and clad in 53 layers of finest Merino wool base layers, 3 buffs, 2 pairs of gloves and a pair of Roadie overshoes, I met with only a couple of other riders brave enough to venture out […]
Easter coffee and cake
After a brief debate via the forum the previous evening as to the starting point, we had 6 brave Moles layering up to keep out the early morning chill.
Promised pints promote punctuality
With the promise of a post-ride beer to celebrate JR’s impending birthday, for once I was at the garage meeting point with time to spare. JR arrived 5 minutes later, and after the obligatory further 5 minutes of chat and waiting for latecomers (none expected, none arrived), the two of us set off.
Wednesday night ride Headley and Box Hill
It has been a while since a Weds night ride report was posted so I thought it was time for a brief report, in case some people were wondering if the night rides had become a rarity.
Mothers day ride and nailing it on Holmbury and Leith
Being Mothers Day and all that, several Moles had already posted their unavailability for Sundays ride, but a lucky few made it out.
