b]i]Anyone interested[/i[/b or available to join me on rides round some of the surrey hills during the day on weekdays. I work shifts and getting rides with my usual weekend group proving difficult (family pressures!!!). Been riding a year and would really benefit from riding with others for company and experience, looking to ride 70KM+

    looking at box hill over to guilford/ shere area, including hills like crocknorth, white down, ranmore common. Just getting to know the area really myself.

    Pace wise looking at average of 25-30 kph on the flats, how's that sound?

    I am going out this Friday for a hill training session. Starting in Dorking via Coldharbour, Tanhurst, Whitedown then a longish flat section to Reigate on A25 for recovery and then repeat the hills. Est dist 85-90k from starting point on Dorking (not sure exactly as I usually measure form home). Could meet at Head for the Hills at 9h30 or so?

    @hippy I too have a wish to climb the hills more frequently and would appreciate the stimulus/challenge of another rider. We could met at one of the Cobham cafes and go on from there. I suggest you post a few dates having regard to weather of course - I have limited and not very good experience of hilly lanes in rain.
