Mt. Biking: Gomshall, Surrey Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 19 Sea Temperature: Weather: Fantastic! Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Met up with work friend Howard and did a 'moderate' 12m route from a MTB
guide book. It was a stupendous day, absolutely glorious, so neither of us
were in a hurry. Just as well, some parts were still very muddy and
hardgoing so it felt more like 20m. I had my first big fall! Charging down
a muddy descent, couldn't brake too much as it was so slippery, then hit a
rut where the bike somersaulted, I did a 'Superman' over the bars, and
managed to damage my knee and hand a bit. Luckily a pub was half a mile
away to go clean up, but it was a terribly terribly posh gastro-pub, and
here was some scroat covered in mud tryig to look all responsible and grown
up...
The woodlands were terrific and most the time we could've been in Wales or
the Peak district, amazing to think we were in Surrey, and on such a
gorgeous quintessentially English spring day. Marvellous! Pass the tea...
