Then last night (Thursday evening) we did some gravel to Chessington area, come across loads of gravel riders, explored a bit and found a few dead ends, but I decent area to explore (being so close to home that is)

Also in the middle or either Epsom or Ashstead common there is an area with 15 off cows that just roam, crazy.
Also saw 2 deer, tried to get a picture but they buggered off sharpish.

Finished in a lovely pud, had 3 pints and we had to ride home through the common in pitch black, far from ideal, with just some small strobe light and a phone light. Not a massive drinker either. I could get used to this no work and just having fun ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

And today smashed out a route from Fetham to Ranmore to Leith hill and back, itโ€™s been years since I have ridden Leirh hill, what an area, absolutely stunning, I want to get back and explore more, they trails are pretty tough but getting to ride through the trees and forest is incredible.

I need to get my insta360 up and take that (or get the right mount)

Absolutely shattered, got home at 2pm and took the kids to bushy park.

So, me and the lad went to our local pump track, obvs I too the BMX, he wanted to take his balance bike as well as his pedal one,

Loads fun, bloody hard though, need to practice more and learn to jump, but did 6/7km round it as well, my wife had my phone for quite a bit to get some pictures,

Was absolutely shattered afterwards, great fun though.

It needs some thinner tyres, the 2.40 fitted feel proper slow
