[quote="marco"]I don't know if he quite realises how easy the easy ride actually is!!
10.00am ECBR, all welcome. not sure where Andrew will take us but rest assured its bound to include a nice little cafe. Back in Croydon for 1pm
All welcome but if you are on a hybrid type bike be prepared to have your legs aching more than those of us on a road bike!

Bring a jacket if it looks like rain, we'll still go out but it might not be as far.

Don't worry I'll just be pootling along at whatever pace anyone else want to go at, social ride init

I only meant I'd be happy to lead if you weren't out Marco but don't mind, 18 miles to the Beaver cafe at Tatsfield okay? Easy to trim 2 or 3 miles off if need be. (Out through West Wickham and Coney Hall, through lanes to Downe and then via some nice little ones to Knockholt and back to Tatsfield).

Guess what I have just got home and it is drizzling, Thanks to my new BFF ( TEMP ) until he upsets me who not only led this joyous ride today but also guaranteed the weather - and was right - and who has kindly supplied me with the school uniform, - I am now the proud owner of an ACC Jersey, ( got to behave myself now ) THANK YOU, My friend, Mr. Jrn, I arrived at EC St, 10.04 again, to find the wonderful Mr and Mr s , what a delight, I will leave the main ride report to him, but as ever A Huge Thanks to the Crew today, Graham, not seen you since my first Just 4 Fun, in 2009, Kasper for all your filming, and just a reminder Boys and Girls, Beavers has the most fab Bacon and Egg Sandwich, and the staff are as friendly and welcoming as Pine and Down, or is it Downe

[quote="marco"]He'll be doing a solo TT off the front then!
We actually split at Keston last week so the faster guys could do a couple of extra hills and rendevouz at the cafe at the same time.

Any teachers want to come out this week and start their holidays off the nice way!?!

Indeed a good ride today even with Marco's abscence! Both Green senior and Junior took turns in leading us round a very picturesque ride through the valleys of Kent. The stop at Beaver world even brought out a rare example of a Kirk Precision bycycle owned by the motorbike guy up there called Jay. He took great pleasure in telling Graham how he could have his rusty front fork re-coated with chrome, and then decided to see if he could sell us his vintage piece of rare bycycle design. My offer of a couple of thousand was greeted quite amicably before deciding he'd rather hang onto it for all the curiosity it drew from passers-by. From the look of the stitching and several large chunks out of his right leg it didn't look like he was unfamiliar with coming off a bike or two in his time (Probably something a little heavier than a mere pedal bike!).

As promised here is a selection of the shots I took today.
