Beautiful sunny day and what couldn't be nicer than cycling through the rolling Kent countryside to the Bucks Head at Godden Green. Nice pub, good food and service with great views over farmland. Only drama due to a bit of gravel at a right turn. Quick dust down and a swig of water and all OK. 👍
B2 ride 29 April 7 in number set off on yet another glorious sunny day despite battling strong wind ((thank heavens for hedges) and made our way to Spadework in Offham via Trottiscliffe and Addington. Sunglasses needed as an abundance of rape fields to blind us together with the usual spontaneous road closures for repairs plus an agricultural oil spillage along the Pilgrims Way to thwart our progress but with the help of workmen assisting wheeling our bikes at the road closure(!) and men sanding road we had a lovely ride with clear views for miles and not a solar orchard to be seen. Spadework in Offham always popular so service a bit slow but no worries, I was mo…
A1 ride 29th April. 5 of us set off from LVC riding through Horton Kirby to Longfield where Bob left us. We continued through Southfleet to the Gravesend cyclopark. After going 2 miles along the park we headed North to Sole Street thankfully turning away from the NE wind which had dogged us till then. We went nearly to Cobham, dropped down to Luddesdown and climbed up to Harvel. Then we descended Birling Hill and went along the.private road to Park Farm. Just short of the pub Chris sufferred a puncture, the only incident of the day. The Angel at Addington provided good service and food at a reasonable price. On the ride were Bob Craig, Martin Gill, Simon L…
The Prems left LVC on our ride to The Old Ship at Tatsfield. The 7 of us headed up Shacklands and made our way across the ridge to Tatsfield and along to Gangers Hill that we descended for a change. We headed up the less well travelled Enterdent Lane to head up to Rabies Heath Road taking us towards Bletchingley. We turned right on the high street and took a long descent on our way towards Smallfield, EastGrinstead and on towards Lingfield to travel along more familiar roads to Limpsfield. We travelled to the bottom of Titsey Hill and took a right along Pilgrims Way to cover our final few miles ascending to Tatsfield. The lunch was good value as…
14 brave B1s biked out of Lullingstone Visitors Centre into the blustery breeze. We shed Paul Hills at Horton Kirby and all was going well until Tim uttered the immortal words ' We are doing well we must be over half way!' At that point Heather fell off her bike, though the ground broke her fall; Dave Binks went on his own personalised tour of Kent but caught up with us at lunch; a tree was blown across the road but we got under it and a road was blocked for resurfacing but we used the footpath. Otherwise a perfect day bar the odd mechanical. See you next week!
