Nice route. You took the two steepest ascents around Woldingham though didn’t you? Was that on purpose?

Sort of, I went to say hi to a friend in Whyteleafe, which meant I had to climb up to the North Downs anyway, the climb up Church Lane seemed nice on paper, was ruthless. The other one was next to the private farm track I asked you about, I decided to stick to the bridleway instead, it was a wall. Wheelslip halfway up meant I had to walk the second half.
Tl;dr Shit happens when you don't know the area.

What a weekend (well, long weekend for me). I had Friday off, so I decided to go for a longer one and explore the North Downs that are usually too far for me for a short ride. Weather couldn't be better and same can be said for the route, except the slog back across town.

Went for a walk yesterday, but manged a second ride today with an unexpectedly good weather once the fog cleared out!
