Spring has sprung

Isn't the weather just great at the moment? I hope everyone has managed to get out and about at least a bit. We had a great Easter, thanks - far too much chocolate as usual. Every year, we say 'let's not give everyone eggs this year, the kids are too old for that sort of thing anyway'. And then every year we end up buying (and receiving) loads.
I've signed up for a charity bike ride that a local bike shop in Sutton (Pearsons) is arranging to celebrate their 150th Anniversary. It's jointly in aid of the Royal Marsden and a charity they run that promotes cycling in schools. It's a slightly daunting 150 km long from the local, Surrey site of the Royal Marsden Hospital down to Brighton and back again. Anyway, I've decided that a 10 mile pootle to and from work (even if it is every day) isn't really in the same league so I've started trying to do some longer rides at the weekend. I did 30 miles to Box Hill and back today which was great in the sunshine and of course the views were great. (I can't take the credit for this photo!)

Well done, Ruth, for finding a likely venue for the next meetup. Have you got some more details, just out of interest? I'm sure the date is probably OK for us - did you need some firm numbers soon?
Look forward to hearing from everyone soon.

P.S. Apologies if there are any strange spilling mistooks - the cat keeps walking over the keyboard. Probably just cupboard love (-;
