Sunday Club Ride -12th Dec 2010

Climbing Sullington Hill

Still some snow hanging about!

The weather is still keeping numbers low on the Sunday ride and icy roads saw only the off-road group heading out. Deciding on the easiest way up we headed over to the Sullington climb to the SDW via Waterfall Cottage and Sullington Manor. With clear skies we had some great views to take in on the climb up to the SDW and then headed east across Barnsfarm Hill and down the tricky Highden Hill track to Parkfield Farm.
The conditions were begining to get a little sticky so we took the Windlesham House trail back to the firmer trails, so we thought. It was heavy going back up to the SDW, heading west we reached Springhead car park and then dropped down the gully to Clay Lane and back to the shop for nice warm cuppa.

Club Ride - 5th December 2010

Friday

Strange this climate of ours!  After 4 days of total chaos, roads impassable and double digit freezing temperatures, we woke Saturday morning to the sound of heavy rain and strong winds, open the curtains and barely any snow? Not complaining at least we can ride!

Sunday

A small group ventured out on a relaxed 12 mile loop up Chantry down to the gallops, back up to the SDW and dropping back into the village down the Springhead gully.Next week we will probably be under 3ft of water, see you then.
