Autumn in Surrey

Today was the invitational ride for the swrc, the idea is that we invite non members to try a club run. Me, Jane and Roger opted to guide an mtb ride. The road rides had a response, but we had nobody. We hadn't really expected anyone to turn up, Cobham isn't a great place to start a mountain bike ride. It seems that most mtb'ers like to ride to the 'trailhead' as it were :)

So me and Jane rolled back over through Cobham common and up onto Polesden Lacey(Roger had remembered that there was a Surrey league x country running race this afternoon and was most expeditious in zipping off home to get changed). From what was a freezing cold morning emerged a beautiful warm sunny day....again! This month has been fantastic. This area has lots of Beech trees and a good deal of the ride was spent crunching through crispy leaves and beech nuts. We spied a few fungi en route but without our SoCal fungimeister with us to identify them, we let them be.

We did spot this sign for the lco:)
