Club: Kingston Wheelers...
For some time I have wanted to get out on a club run. And yesterday I did. Many thanks to the Kingston Wheelers who let me join them on their club run yesterday. We ended up doing a loop from their Surbiton meeting point down across the Downs, into the Surrey Hills:
This 94k route took circa 4hrs and together with the miles to/from the meeting point turned out to be a 130k / 5hr day. Not surprisingly I spent the afternoon on the sofa.
I am hoping that joining a club it will be a real benefit to my training. In particular for getting used to riding in groups and having a regular long weekend ride.
In an effort to fit with the other members of the club run I shall try to avoid doing this:

Nice one. 5hrs yesterday in that wind is a good effort. I'm surprised they went down Farley Green the road there is atrocious.
How did you get on at the 12.5% Pitch Hill? Its a good venue for hil intervals.

Mark,
Yeah it was a good ride and nice to go out in a large grpoup (about 15 of us).
Some of the roads surfaces weren't all that great, but on the whole it was pretty quiet traffic wise.
Not too sure about the names of all the hills but I think Pitch Hill was a good but testing climb. I know the long descent to Ewhurst was certainly welcome.
