This crater is on the left side of the road heading north towards the A25, as you start to go downhill by the village green
Folks, after Adrian's warning in his Update last week, and because it was on my intended G2 route this Saturday, I went and had a look last night at the "resurfaced" Coldharbour Lane (i.e. the road up from the centre of Dorking towards Leith Hill.
It is dreadful. More like a pebble beach than a road surface. It was bad enough in a car.
I'm assuming that the Council plan to sweep the excess gravel off (who knows) but until that happens it's probably best avoided.
Some very encouraging words found by Graham Haysom within a letter from the CTC that mentions our new police commissioner...
For those of you who haven't read your latest Cycling Plus from cover to cover, CP have produced a mobile App which acts as an ICE.
It sits as an icon on your lick screen, so is easily accessible to first responders if you have an accident.
It's easy to install and it's free.
Futher to Adrians newleter:-
£2.99 inc delivery. Its not perfect but better than a carrying a business card which ultimately just ends up as a soggy mess in the rain. If you have a laminator machine at work it be 100% perfect as writing could never then fade/rub off. Mine has lasted a good year and still writing not faded.
I have received an email thread from British Cycling South East regarding complaints by local residents on Toys Hill near Edenbridge about riders riding recklessly down the hill.
I would just like to warn riders / groups to take extra care down there (not too fast and not on the wrong side of the road) so as to prevent any further antagonism of local residents.
There is no suggestion that RCC riders have caused any problems to date, but I hope our riders are aware of this situation so they can be especially careful there.
