Just a Sunday ride this week, to ease us into a broader spectrum of rides over the weeks ahead as covid restrictions ease. Last Sunday saw two groups out for a spin over to Petworth. A club staple, but where anxious thoughts about a lack of training during lockdown evaporated once the wheels turned and muscle memory remembered. It was just so nice to ride in a group again (aww).

This Sunday we’ll head down to the coffee van at Kinsbrook Vineyard just outside West Chiltington. Familiar roads for Amberley devotees, but a shorter run from Reigate.

Here’s a route.

We’ll keep the format the same as last week. Two groups with leaders. We’ll line everyone up outside the shop, and like a 70s primary school playground football match, we’ll take turns to pick who’s in our teams. Or maybe we’ll just let you choose. Anyway, be ready with boots and team strip (and somebody bring a ball) outside MdV for 09:00 kick-off. No pushing.

See you there.

Enjoy your riding this weekend.
