Muddy Fun Tue 5 June.

[Stewie]

Hi all you mud lovers out there in bike land , as the title suggest, I'm off on the green lanes on Tuesday.
Setting off from Broadbridge Heath Tesco's petrol station, meeting at 0915hrs for a 0930hrs depart. ( just west of Horsham on the A264 )

I'm going to get over to Hindhead via the Surrey lanes and then if we have time down to some of the Alton lanes, so it will be a brisk pace and all day on the lanes , I will be stopping for cheesy chips as it EU law .

So see ya there or on-route

Well yet another great day on the lanes, five of us in total, which made for a great pace, early start and straight on to the lanes, did about 45 miles before the first stop, and in total probably did 120-130 miles in total.
It was nice to see Duncan and Mark ( been a while )as well as Roy and Jeff.
The rain held off for the morning, but the smart money was on waterproofs ( so that every one bar me ), as it did get a tad wet in the afternoon.
At one stage, Roy decided to play hide and seek ( without telling any one ) but there was no hiding from Jeff on his trusty XT350 as he had a bit of target fixation ,and followed him into the same hedge .
The aftermath footage

I'm sorry to say that none of the helmet cam footage came out, due to user error ( insert relevant comment ), but it was mad fun on the sands ( four times in total )
Did manage to get some footage on the phone , mainly of the lane just south of the Devils punch bowl .

A big thanks to the nice people at the Hindhead cafe, five soaking wet and muddy biker is not what you want to see as your cleaning up
I think rider of the day has to go to Jeff on his XT350 with trail tyres on as Duncan said '' He definitively gets a lick on, on that thing ''
as I said great ride, great company, thanks
Well see ya all on the next one, Planing a day at Four Marks track soon, and a day around the Alton lanes.

[silky666]

Cracking days riding .. and a nice steady pace that meant we got quite a bit of the 'long route' in

Some incredibly tough going down by Tatters Corner though ... great fun

Let me know when the next one is and I will try to get some of the old lot out.
Cheers for organizing this one Stewie

£100. At times of my life nothing, in current circumstances everything. All I need to get mine back on the road. Working part time around uni, but too big a chunk to take out in one month. Really want to get mine back out there again - looked like a great day.

Best get saving

well that was a great day out, except for looking for my bike in the hedge, but Jeff came to the rescue and soon found it for me!
Bent rad on that failed climb, new tyre I think. thanks Stewie
