Club Ride – 31 August, Surrey Hills & North Downs

Hi everyone, sorry for the late post but I’ve been mulling over the trail and where to park because where I want to start, parking is very limited, but I think it’ll be worth it because it’s straight onto singletrack and that’s nothing but good.  So I’m sure you’ll forgive my lardiness once you get there

Austria – The Last Day: Maiskogel, not yours !

Our last day in Kaprun dawned and as predicted the sunshine of the previous day on Hunstein had long gone. In its place were big lumps of fluffy white clouds drifting about, with some higher clouds building in an ominous fashion. The forecast was rain of biblical proportions (Quote from the local forecast : “there will be some flooding in the afternoon following very intense rain”) so we needed to get a move on to stand a chance of at least riding in the dry for a while. The weather here is notorious for sticking two fingers up at the forecast, so we didn’t really know what we’d get.
