Hi all, just a heads up I'm doing a run for a few of the TRF lads and there's room for a few more (thumbs)

The ride will be heading out from Ryka's cafe ( Old London Rd, Box Hill, Mickleham, Dorking RH5 6BY http://www.rykas.co.uk )

Meeting for a 0930hrs depart and will be doing a mix of easy/med lanes and back roads heading over to The Devil's Punchbowl Nr Hindhead, and then back to Ryka's, min tyres 50/50 (thumbs)

There's a good mix of terrain on the route, should be about 120 miles and there will be a Cheesy Chip stop along the way B)

Cheesy chip stop?! Worth the trip alone

Do you know if there will be any "big" bikes as well?

Thank you to TRF guys for arranging a ride out today. It was quite technical for me but really enjoyable

Glad you had fun, was a tad slippery out there today....

Took the lower route back, less technical (thumbs)

Don't know how I missed this post, seeing as I look at the site regularly!

I'll try & be more vigilant and catch your next one!

Great ride Stewie - this photo proves that orange bikes stay upright and clean(ish)!

Thanks Stewie for organising and leading a great ride,nice to meet some new people and to ride some trails I've not been on for a few years.

Well after a week of nice weather, we all meet up in some light drizzle :laugh: on show were 4 KTM990's, 1 KTM950SE, 2 KTM690's, 1 KTM640e, 1 CCM, 1 BMW1200gs/a and 1 Trans Alp.
It was a great effort by everyone, bit slippery in places but we still managed 109 miles, not to many spills, just one puncture and the magic foam fix it for the rest of the day, big thanks to John for TEC all day

Always good to meet new riders and the usual bunch of loons.
See ya on the next on

Yes we did but the fence back :laugh:

For those looking for something different, but not a million miles away, there are some great lanes for larger trail bikes down in Surrey/Hampshire, when it's dry is perfect for tip toeing for your first time off road ( yes I know they're roads (thumbs) )
