Box Hill 16/7

[topcat1]

DJ, Radius and topcat1 rode up to box hill today meeting at streatham common we set off at a brisk pace.Then settling down to ride alongside a nice lavender field in woodmansterne

we then rode on through epsom and then up zig zag road to reach our destination

the national trust tea shop and

the view point.
We ordered tea and cakes

and had a chat enjoying the sun and cakes

then we decided to make our way home so we shot by epsom racecourse and made our way back to town.
Thankyou dave (your route to box hill is shorter than my one) and radius (nice hat) for a very nice day.

Simple food for simple folk

All those sunny photos - I have just walked in from work soaked! Thunder and L. etc...
Nice gallery as per usual Dave - why no 'action' shots of climbing athletes?!

* completely untrue.

Nope, haven't touched it, it's actually longer

Nice shots TC, thanks to David for the route and both for the company, even if I did open a 3 and a half minute gap on Box hill.
Total mileage today: just over 70 miles.

Because the only climbing athlete pulled onto the other side of the road whilst riding up the hill to see his comrades on the tier below....

Radius shot up the hill while we we're having a chat but we did see some bloke looking for a girl on a pink pinarello.

 

[Will1985]

Girl on a pink Pinarello was a BR thing (central London)
Girl on a Colnago was on CC (Box Hill)

Of course you may be right in which case some thread resurrections are in order...

 

[topcat1]

you're right tho, it was girl on a colnago and i was refering to mr nicensleazy.
