If we are doing Leith suggest we meet either Coldharbour or Dorking and ride in, except parking there is normally a nightmare.

Or YHA Holmbury Saint Mary, much easier for parking

That's not exactly Leith though

How is Leith parking a nightmare? You can park in one of three or four places at a push. Best place is the carpark near high ashes, never once failed to park there.

Coldharbour is a big problem tho now as they've closed that little carpark as apparently it's private land.

cooldad

I actually meant Dorking where we normally meet Richard. Always packed unless you pretend to go to church.
Leith I agree is no problem.
Thel33ters spot is fine as well, just quite a way to ride if the children want to play on their new trails.

I'll probably come out once you decide on when and where to meet, there are a few car parks up from the usual car park near peaslake that are near some really nice trails

Holmbury St Mary requires climb to Leith, but can do sneaky route back down which is nice.

Don't mind where though. High Ashes is bigger car park near Leith (watch out those with roof racks though).

I may pop along for 10am wherever the starting point is... Spring has sprung, looking forward to dry runs and bacon butties.

Atz

You need sunshine for bacon butties? Someone's mugging you off buckaroo

It does make them taste better tho 8)

Carpark in coldharbours open again
Dk the filming was has been confirmed 3 of my mates were speaking to security last week ! They also shut off a few trails while blowing up stuff for the film.

Surrey Hills (Sunday 10th of April)

Meet up place: -Top of Holmbury hill.
Time: -10.00
Route: -YougPots, -RootyBits Offcamber, Sprint/Climb to Leith hill. Smoke/Water break at Tower. -AmuseBouche, -DH, climb, -Deliverance, -WaggleDance, -SummerLighting, climb, -Desert? and finally Deadkenny's special all the way back to Holmbury.

Choose yourself a carpark whichever you preffer, most probably I will park on top of Holmbury near YogPots/Resevour Dogs carpark to save my fragile legs.

That's the plan for Sunday.

If I'm really lucky I may manage to get out this evening. Hour or two in before it gets dark.

Thel33ter, spot on. You're facebook hacker.

No luck it seems. Still in the office, and now looks like I'm working Saturday (at least I get paid though). My foot is down on Sunday though, firmly on bike pedals.

bungalistic

If anyone else is interested me and supra are going to swinley tomorrow afternoon for around 2:30, probably be playing on labyrinth and hitting the gulley.

I'll be out sunday too if I find the right car park

cooldad

I tghink the one popstar is talking about is up Radnor rd from Peaslake, up past the start of Barry's, and off to the left (carpark with the steep entrance) where we would turn in to get to the top of Holmbury.

Ok I think I know the one you mean. I presume we're meeting at the viewpoint up near the start of yogpots?

I might park further down so I can do a final run down barry after it's all over and maybe grab a pint in the peaslake pub too.

That means finishing at the top of the hill. Final run down Barrys & pint sounds good.

Right, can I get out tonight? hah! We'll see. Tomorrow all depends if I'm dragged into work but even then I'll hope to not be working all day and have some of the afternoon out.

That's what thel33ter wants to do (well minus the pint) so how about meeting at the bottom around 10, or the top at the viewsite around 10.30, gives everyone a chance to do what they want, and popstar to be lazy.

thel33ter

Popstar means the carpark here.

Yeah, but I'm not climbing back up Radnor Road after last ride BKB + pint

Anyway, think we all just aim to meet at the viewpoint wherever we park or ride from. And may bump into each other on the way.

Tonight, maybe, possibly, will be at Swinley @ 6pm. But no guarantees at all.

Tomorrow, could make it in the afternoon somewhere.

popstar

By the time you climb up to Holmbury view point, think I will be ready there.

thel33ter

@All ya London Boys, there's a guy from MTB Britain who wants to come on Sunday but needs a lift from somewhere around Putney, possibility for anyone?

kenn

Probably over there at some point in the afternoon and probably bump into you, if I don't see you at 2.30 (are you meeting at the car park?).
