Tuesday ride

Me and Roger have started our weekly winter Tuesday rides on the mountain bike again. A bit later this year because I took a couple of months off the bike.

It was another lovely Tuesday so we started by riding over to Leith Hill for some singletrack. I realise that I've lost fitness, but hadn't realised that I'd lose all of my skills too! Once I'd had a couple of slips and slides on the roots and got used to the bike moving around under me, it came back a bit.

From Leith over to Holmbury via High Ashes Farm, where Roger had a slight comedy off when a rock submerged in a puddle flipped him sideways :) We stopped for coffee and teacakes at the café in Shere and went back over the north Downs.......... Lovely :)
