The rain was starting to come down heavily at 8.30am, but this did not deter us from getting out on our bikes.

All togged up Darren, Jon and I (Richard) headed up towards the ridge.

The off road sections were very muddy and slippery requiring extra concentration for some of the descents.

It was a fairly quick ride of about 7 miles to Godstone where we met up with the others for Frank’s ride.
