Sheepleas, Crocknorth, er… ABORT (Over) generously handed over my spare inner tube to another rider just outside Esher, then punctured descending Green Dene, and then again at speed descending Ranmore. That was particularly hairy, and resulted in >6 snakebites using up all my puncture repair patches. Walked a mile to get signal and taxi home. First major disaster for 20 years (then it was chain snap, then complete hub collapse down in Oxted).
Three hills with two fast boys and one tired AJ To the top of Green Dene from the Lotus garage, right (not left) at Peaslake, then round the back of Leith to Coldharbour and up the dump side of Dorking to Ranmore. Almost all new for me. Good to be out with Rich and Pete again.
