Time to dig out the arm / leg warmers / gilet's etc. etc. etc as it's looking like a chilly one! What better way than a ride with clubmates and a few hills thrown in #layerup

Meet: 8:30 @ Cadence in Crystal Palace

Leave: 9am on the dot - please let myself know if you are running late! 07540943151

Route: Taking the typical journey out towards the m25, we'll keep going south on a relatively flat route towards Hever Castle before winding our way back up through (hopefully) quiet country lanes. Refueling via copious amounts of cake will be encouraged at the Coffee shop at Chartwell House (Churchill's old gaff) in preparation for a challenging last 30km; taking in the ups and downs of Toys, Ide and Sundridge Hill. A final slog up Anerley Hill will take us nicely back to Herne Hill where there'll be an option to stick around for a beverage and bite to eat.

Groups will be split on preferred pace and there'll be the usual no drop rule so please ride at the pace your comfortable with, particularly on the hills. Whoever summits first (no prizes for KOM...) will find somewhere safe to regroup at the top of hills. Usual riding etiquette around riding in pairs and hand signals is encouraged! Any volunteers for group leaders appreciated...

Road surfaces can start to become precarious with leaves / debris at this time of year so please come equipped with spares in the unlikely event of a flat / mechanical....touch wood

See attached the GPX file, please bring the route along on a GPS Computer or phone.

See you all in the morning (thumbs up emoji),
