Sporadic Surrey rides

[Maxb]

Don't forget Surey is buggered this weekend with the bike races View attachment 16616

Compleatly forgot about the Ride london being on which is bad as I have ridden it a few times and still get all the promotionale emails.
Might give it miss if all the roads are buggered I could probably work out a route to get to peaslake as I will be travelling up from Sussex but it might not be worth the hassle.

based on Topov's map you can come S from the A24, turn left at the North Holmwood roundabout, if you then take the (I think - look on the map) 5th left - Knoll Road - you can connect to the bottom of Coldharbour Lane. Follow that or park there and you're easily up to Leith Hill. I actually prefer it to Peaslake - there's so much more to Surrey Hills than Peaslake and Winterfold.

I'm a local so PM me if not sure.

Thanks for the info haven just seen it’s Brighton pride this weekend which may cause a bit extra road issues so going to give it a miss this weekend will hope to get over next Saturday for a ride.

[Jamsxr]

I’m out this evening on the MTB hitting some jump lines, but will be on the eBike on Saturday morning if anyone is about - probably starting at West Hanger Lane.

 

[Ben Duro]

Hello Jamsxr, I could be up for that but not familiar with west hangar lane, I normally park in peaslake, what kind of time are you aiming for?
Cheers

Hi Ben, I can be flexible but was going to head out around 8.30 for a 2-3 hour ride.

There are some great downhill and jump lines there. I was then going to do some exploring around Ranmore as well.

West Hanger is here if you fancy it...

I know where

 

[Ben Duro]

I know where that is; 8.45 is safer bet, see you there. Will be in black pathfinder with bright green push cycle ;-)

 

[Jamsxr]

Dog walk held me up so I’ll be there about 8.50.

Hey lads - would be very interested in hearing about Surrey Rides - expecially weekday ones, and the faster the better! - I bought an ebike to get more runs in, not because I'm unfit

I live in Peaslake and work from home - bike due to arrive week after next!

cheers!!!

Hey Robin, my thumb is still hurting after defeat the dragon last week ?

Give me a shout whenever you fancy a motorised trail blast, I work from home 1-2 days a week ?

Did Rogate on Sunday, perfect on the eBike, although it was a bit sloppy...

Cheers

Lads - I have set-up a Surrey Hills EMTB Facebook group, aimed at increasing riding opportunities for peeps who like to ride their eBikes hard & fast in the Surrey Hills:

Chaps how pants has the weather been on our patch the last few months? Barely had my Levo out since October.

Just having a whine. Gotta be summer soon!

Applied a little while ago but answered no to "do you ride BPW black runs?". Didn't hear back.

is that a disqualifier? anyone wanna make a blues and reds group?

 

[Robin Grant]

We've had one or more group rides out every weekend since we started the Surrey Hills EMTB Facebook Group back in December. Apart from this weekend - and you're right, conditions have been pretty miserable!

Yea, have been using as such - as want to keep the rides fast and be able to ride the trails we want. PM me with your real name and and I'll let you in...

Long term aim would be to have multiple rides out each weekend - with each flagged as intermediate or advanced...

I have been out quite a bit, but trail choice is restricted due to the conditions at the moment, find myself doing more trail/xc type rides than I usually would.

 

[miPbiP]

Did a lung powered loop around Holmbury on Sunday (man it was sloooowwww) - looks an awful lot of new riders have been buying Levos with their furlough money.

Good news for Toby in Merrow Dave in Leatherhead, and Freeborn, I guess!

(and I was wishing for a deal on an SL. some chance!).

 

[R120]

Yup I was in Peaselake last week and car park was EMTB central

 

[TheBikePilot]

Seems about 60/40 at the moment. 40% eebs..!

Some of the 60% are Halfords specials..!! Great to see so many out enjoying the hills..
