Sundays 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st December 2006

It is with regret this post has appeared late.
This is due to the rather hectic festive season getting in the way of normal service and my inability to get "work, rest and play" in the correct order.

The AGM on the 10th was attended by around 25 of the usual suspects.
The most notable "area of concern" was the suggestion the C&M rides should be graded for severity (Richard D take note!).

Simon's ride to Edenbridge, a week later, was granted fine weather and lunch in the churchyard was very agreeable with just enough heat in the sun to take your gloves off to eat sandwiches.
The ride fragmented on the way home when Simon revealed his choice of climb over the North Downs - the wretched Titsey Hill.

Christmas Eve was a revelation in the support I received on this short ride to Stoke d'Abernon via Box Hill.
Clearly the fact that Ann brought along mince pies, shortbread, port, sherry etc really put everybody in a good mood with plenty to go around, even to the car assisted Pete Beyers and family at 11's.
Spirits were high so I used this to my advantage with the 2 mile track across Bookham Common to a quietish pub, Old Plough at SdA.
For most, thoughts of the following day's activities meant early departure from lunch to begin the build up to the big day & beyond.

New Years Eve was low key in both attendance and destination (Wetherspoons in Leatherhead). Thanks to Ed, Jake & Richard and already there Pete M, Ray, Terry, Graham, Pam, Irene to be joined by Keith.

Happy New Year
