Might know if I can make later dates at a later date.
erm, hello there... Ive just entered the Outlaw and have been directed here as a lonely Londoner looking to get some sort of mileage in. Can I join in??
Just wondering where these rides start? As a non-car driver are they vaguely near stations??
Also, when you piratey types (in total awe) talk of easy rides, are we talking suitable for someone who really just commutes on a hybrid - or do i need to fancify my bike a bit before i am ready to ride with you lot? I have no idea what I'm doing!
Hmmm... well its probably only a matter of time before my bike gets nicked again (3 times in 1 year!) so i can look at upgrading, or is possible to just change little bits and pieces? Ive no idea what im doing really! Its a light bike, maybe i could come to a meet and get your opinion as to whether it would suffice.
I'll sign up when I know where the rides are likely to be (particularly if there's an easy ride option
)
Oh and I love hills - its the cream eggs i might have issues with... Ferret Biccies sound intriguing though!
Ferret biccies are ace.
I don't love hills though - not the up nor the down. But I'm learning to love them. Hill monster I'm not LOL! Except I probably look like one when I've fallen off into a hedge.
I hate hills but love creme eggs
I shall come for creme eggs and the end of ride burger like last time
I shall admire the riders 
I'll go out via Peaslake & Holmbury St Mary, back down to Abinger and back, POSSIBLY via Combe (You have to give me some entertainment).
It's doable on a hybrid, it's not too long (about 20 ish miles), nothing too steep, couple of long draggy bits which you will need to practice anyway. Then back for burgers & tea.
Soupy, Saffers & Cat, it's the course we did for a change last year.
If no hybriders turn up and I am feeling malicious, we can always turn right at Abinger and take the next left. Mwah ha ha ha.
It will also be nicely placed for the other dates for the Smiffy rides and frankly, I need a sharpener too.
Ferret, if you can make it as per the list, your skills and support would be most welcome.
Takers?
We will all be supremely qualified to tell you how to spend 2 grand on a bike! LOL. Or how to tart it up cheaply. But as Mmmmmmmeldy says, Outlaw will need a roadie at some point.

This is Carlo's Trattoria on your left on the A25. It is 100 yards short of Drove Road, which is on your right, opposite the Barn Cafe and at the very top of the upflat.
As you enter Drove Road (which is not marked as anything but a brown sign for a P & WC, a tree, an i and a cup and a sign saying Newlands Corner three feet under the brown sign.) Into the car park and look out for yeller & black. Google streetmap it, it's pretty clear.
See how desparate I am to meet the Fairy one?

Is it just for 'Hybrids'?
