Jacqui 07908209813 (this will not go ahead if it is really wet or windy - I will contact you if that is the case) (I will also run this ride on Sats. Let me know if interested at [email protected]) We will meet at the Tooting Bec Atletic Grounds on Tooting Bec Road, near the bus stop. We will ride to Box Hill which is about 20 miles and up the hill. Depending how you feel, there is the option to get the train home. This is lovely ride through Walton on Thames, Kingswood, Woodmanster and Charshalton Beeches via Hackbridge and Tooting Common. This ride will be about 45 miles, but we will be back by 3:00 in time for the school run. You should be happy doing 25 miles but there are stations that you can return via, if you want to give it a try with a "get home" option, either before or after the hill. Make sure your bike is in good condition, wheels pumped up and brakes working as there are some lovely downhills esp on the way home. Bring along a puncture repair kit too. Bring along puncture repair kit and some lunch or some money for cake and soup at the cafe on the top of the hill. Make sure you have enough warm/cool clothes as it is chilly/hot up there. Suncream too!! You could catch a train back from many points if you would like to participate in a part of the ride. (Box Hill station, Kingswood, Carshalton Beeches) This is an iconic cyclists hill, and it always feels great to be there, and climb the same slopes as some of the greatest cyclists ever. Tuesday is a great day to ride too, as it is fairly quiet and you can take the hill in your own time.
