QUOTE OF THE WEEK
 

“The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart.” - Iris Murdoch

 

BICYCLISTS OF THE WEEK

We return to the Anerley's sexist roots this week. Or more precisely this Sunday which is the annual London-Brighton BikeFest. We bring you at no extra cost the Porn Pedellars Peloton. A group of outstanding ladies doing it for dosh. With Chris Hoy behind them what could possibly go wrong?

They have raised two grand so far. I hope that's all. More here:

RECENT RIDE REPORTS


Thursday (election day) Ride 8th June: Destination Woodlands garden centre. A new venue which made us welcome. However rather more a restaurant than tea shop. Crazy sized portions of cake proved too much for me and Barrie! The route there was pretty straightforward along the pilgrims way briefly intersected by the A224 and A225. Missed the turning for Terry's Lodge farm (as did Meike and John!) and had to endure White Hill (another one!).
Return journey along Knock Mill lane; Tinker Pot lane; Birchin Cross lane and back on to the Pilgrims Way for a brief spell before hitting the A225. Next Thursday Newlands Corner near Shere.

Saturday Ride 10th June:  Westhumble, Boxhill, Ranmore Common and Leith Hill
