Anyone keen for a night ride this week, usual riding buds aren't around and still keen to get out as its supposed to be relatively dry. Usually head out towards either Swinley or Peaslake/Dorking areas. It's too scary at night to ride solo ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Awaiting chainset delivery, hopefully it'll come tomorrow and then I can get the build finished.
Based in Epsom and would probably drive so location too important. As an aside after a summer off due to injury I'm not in the best of shape!

OK could do somewhere out near you? Do you know your way around pitch hill area?

Not huge amount that near Epsom, Swinley or Peaslake way are my usual nightride haunts. I know my way around reasonably well but haven't been out in the dark for a while.

Happy with either, peaslake is closer to you so could be the better option

I'll let you know if chain set turns up and we can iron out some details then.

The tunnel hill trolls usually ride Monday, Tuesday & Thursday evenings somewhere around Farnborough Hants if that's any good. Google will find you the info.
