Box Hill blocked near Rykas

Maison du Velo tree down at Box Hill
Just a quick note – which may already be out of date – but the Old London Road at Box Hill was blocked near Rykas on Thursday by a fallen tree.

Maison du Velo posted the above picture on their Maison du Velo Instagram feed on Thursday, following a strong storm overnight on Wednesday. Sadly, I can’t confirm it’s still a problem, as I haven’t had the chance to check.

I was actually mountain biking on Thursday evening and came down Bukkake Alley to the Old London Road near Juniper Hall.

Unfortunately, I decided to turn right and not left. Had I turned left toward WestHumble I might have been able to confirm if the tree was still there but I wasn’t aware of the potential problem at the time. It does perhaps help explain why the road was particularly quiet as I headed towards Mickleham Village!

Incidentally, if you’re in Reigate and want a decent lunch, then Maison du Velo serve the best Avocado and Scrambled Egg on toast around – and their coffee is pretty decent too!

Thanks for reading,
Matt

    Road was clear yesterday morning 19/01, although still some tree to be cleared from the side and footpath.

    I went past on the way up Box Hill on Friday and it had been cleared already – i did not even notice any leftovers on the side of the road. Lucky it did not catch anyone or anything went it went down
