🚴♂️ What’s This Ride About?
This is our first proper trip into the Surrey lanes! A longer route with some steady elevation, but we’ll take it at a chill pace and support each other through every mile.
• ✅ Rolling terrain, ideal for gear practice
• ✅ We regroup after every climb
• ✅ Friendly pace — no pressure, no stress

🔰 Beginner Tip
Shift early, don’t wait until you’re already struggling on a hill. Anticipating climbs makes them way more manageable and keeps your momentum smooth.
⸻
👥 Who’s This For?
G4 riders — especially if you’re just getting into riding longer distances or learning how to manage hills with the group. This one is about pacing, not proving.
⸻
🧃 Café Stop
We’ll refuel at Much & Wiggle in Oxshott — great coffee, good vibes, and plenty of space to catch your breath.
