Guildford & Godalming Wayfarers

By on 8 September, 2014   /   latest news  

I’m off on my holidays – so is any registered leader available to lead either or both of the following rides?  

If a leader is not available there’s no problem with anyone riding into the beyond as a group, however it will be as a group of adults doing their own thing!.

For 21 Sep (start Godalming, coffee Haslemere) – No volunteers (at 16.9.2014) so please do your own thing and enjoy the ride.

5 Oct (start Guildford, coffee One Forty Cafe, Cranleigh) – Thanks to Brian Ross who’s volunteered to lead this one.

Please call Peter Fennemore on 01483 300689. If I don’t answer, just leave voice mail and I’ll get back to you.

Safe and Happy Cycling

Peter

Sunday Intermediates ~ 24 August 2014

By on 24 August, 2014   /   Blog posts  

It was a bit of a chilly start for August – last night in Northern Ireland it was minus 2º! Nevertheless it was sunny and a large, cheerful crowd gathered in Godalming in readiness for the Tanner’s Hilly One! And that’s how it turned out to be: it was good to ride some of the Bicycle Icycle / Greensand route – some in the reverse direction – which of course is a delightful route. It was brilliant to ride up Tanhurst Lane, something I personally hadn’t done for a good number of years: it was still just as good. We took our time over the ride and needed to wait for quite some time on a couple of occasions due to mechanical and gradient issues so Derek changed the lunchstop from Shamley Green to the Volunteer in Holmbury. And very nice it was too – they were busy but they had ample staff on duty and food came quite quickly.

The route shown below shows the one I took which copped out of the final few hills in favour of a flat route back from lunch. For a more detailed view click here: http://www.strava.com/activities/184753000

Thanks, Derek and Anne – nice ride!
