If you sign up pls include everything below the feint line... I am editing a little as we go, good to keep the latest post up-to-date. Anyone with local knowledge that could improve on the start point to include better riding, please shout! I just chose Dorking on a whim really, looks like a nice distance to be half the ride... i.e. ride back the same or similar way, meaning cheaper train fares hopefully. Also plus with Dorking is direct trains from both Waterloo and Victoria, meaning we won't all need to use the same train. Agsin any local knowledge gratefully received. Aiming at a start time pretty soon after a fair few direct trains will arrive there, 0915hrs.
Ride will be capped at a dozen or so if it gets busy in here. Doubtful.
@vilms5000 I am sorry I've chosen the sunday you can't do; more folk can do the 1st. Hope to see you change plans, or on a ride on another day.
DORKING ABOUT IN A POND
Ride, swim & ride. Dorking > Frensham Great Lake, Sunday AUG 1st 2021
Ride with minimal road sections. Think about tyres. Think about nettles. Think mud if there's been rain. Think about a nice swim in a lake. Think about a picnic.
FROM: Dorking Station (main) start 0915hrs. We will co-odinate trains so none are too swamped, will aim at 2riders ish per train. More local riders welcome to meet at the start of course. Might be able to bend the rules in the morning with nice guards. Will delay start for later arrivals if there are problems with travel.
Bring picnics, flasks of tea or a couple of beers, even a stove to cook things? Let's make this a proper chilled outing. Easy pace. Slow, even. Aiming to get back to Dorking for maybe a cuppa or pint + return trains late afternoon ...
