Whoops, perhaps I should have posted that I was heading off this morning.
Anyway, me and tom. got to Dorking as planned at 10, but unfortunately neither off us knew our way around at all. Various other riders pointed us in roughly the right direction, but we still ended up taking some odd routes; walking up a steep footpath and getting evils from ramblers for instance. Managed to find a few decent runs, but got the impression we missed out on the best bits.
Tom put me to shame on the downhills, I really haven't got the nerve for fast descents. Forgetting my helmet probably didn't help in that regard. In accordance with the tags, I did remember flapjacks however.
We'll have to do it again with a bit more planning, would be good to get a regular offroading day sorted like SSTC or TNRC.
