After yesterday's tribulations with the Oxydrive Boardman, today was to good not to go off road with the Cubs AMS.
62 Miles and 4800ft of elevation gain today with av speed of 11.5mph out to the Surrey Hills, rode to Leith Hill, Shere, Ranmore & Norbury Park via Polsden. A bit naughty today as I claimed a KOM and a 2nd.
Mud galore to be had and not hard to find and esp after Shere as the 4 x 4 boys have really churned up the NT forestry tracks and they look more like RAC rally stages.
Along the mucky track I stopped and chatted to a local pedal mtbr of similar age to me and we had 10 min chat, he was very interested in my Cube homebrew bike.
Nearly lost my back pack with camera, lunch and various toys in it as I left it at the top road entrance to the space lab in Holbury St Mary it wasn't until I was transiting the Hurtwood area about 25 mins later that I realised I was missing something, fortunately still where I had left it after back tracking pronto.

St James at Shere.

Took long way to work this morning on my new toy. Great way to liven up work commute.

Stunning view and setting Trevor, lucky lad.
I remember my late parents were in awe of the country when they visited mum's best friend over 25 yrs ago, mum quietly rued the chance that we as a family never emigrated at the same time during the early 70's.

Been out this afternoon, hard nine with bent gears, found with the new hybrid narrow tyres to sit back on the seat and pedal and they will dig through the mud.

Lovely mild afternoon, not a soul to be seen, this is part of the Mortimer trail which goes for miles, beautiful woodland trails and paths.

It's as beautiful as it looks

Battery lock works fine on mine no trouble. I like the yamaha motor better than the bosch bikes I've ridden. I like the way the power is instant. I'll be looking to sell this hardseven soon and buying a fullseven.

I have always found that graphite powder is very good for problems with keys/locks on my bike. Another very good one which seems to penetrate well, yet not cause issues in respect of dust, is dry lube that you would use on a bike chain.

Looking at your rides on an a daily basis on Strava, I have been thinking "you lucky bastid" Out riding at least twice a day, whilst I haven't been able to get out at all! :(

Glad that you are out there enjoying and getting value for money from the bike. Long may it continue.:)
