Route: Bocketts (with a minimum of 20 smoke breaks).
Attendees: Me (WR400), Joe (EC250), Rich Johnny (CRF230), Gazza (GGPamp).
Weather: Perfect but a little chilly.

A few of us took a slightly late planned and non advertised bimble over the Dorking lanes today.
(Non advertised as it was only a short one and a late start + more smoke breaks than Dot Cotton)

Was good to dust off the winter cobwebs and get some mud on the bike.
No heroics this run ... although Gazza did manage to throw himself over a log and onto another one, using his ribs as a buffer.
Like a man, he only cried and whinged about it for 15 minutes or so.

Not a lot else to report really ... going was still wet, but mud was nice and 'sticky.
Beelzebubs was despatched with ease - No break downs - No major offs - No run-ins with Rambliars Smile

Only thing of real interest was our favourite lane being taken over by 100+ cross country runners Sad

Shame that, as we had all got our muddy feet back and were looking forward to a bit of a blat.

Didn't watch the vid all though (I take it that it was the same all the way through - i.e. you passing loads of runners down the gallops?).

Where were the rest of the bikes? All behind? Thinking

I take it the CRF230 was a dot in the distance to you all day??? Laughing

p.s. you need to come and play at more interesting places than just your back yard!! Wink
