[quote="simon Lythgoe"]Alternative ride with map and pics
Well done Mike a cracking ride worthy of our VC. I thought you did great with a big group, although it must have felt like herding cats at times.
I loved the hills (4,379ft), the cake and the company.
I was very impressed with the whole group when we changed route and rode back up Pasture Wood Road (a fair climb) to go looking for one lost comrade (we don't lose them often!) luckily the cake at Abinger Hammer made up for us not reaching Shere.
A cautionary note, always make sure your pedals are attached and don't try answering the phone when cycling, especially when climbing Whitedown!
