Decided to have some fun with the Surrey Hills. Used Green Dene as a warm up, then down through picturesque Shere. Up Hound House Road - a long grind. Whizz down to Ewhurst where I had a sandwich, then round to Cranleigh for the top one - Barhatch (21%). Plan was to loop round on Windmill Road, then whizz back down Barhatch to get round to Alderbrook Road, but Windmill Road becomes a bog FFS. There was a sportive going on, including some off-road riding and this was a part of it. Not for me. I double-backed and whizzed down Pitch Hill for the second time, then round to Alderbrook, which was tough, having just pushed the legs up Barhatch with little time for recovery. From Alderbrook I cruised down to Farley Green, then down to the Albury Road, ready to use the main roads to get to the last hill - Combe Lane. Legs properly knackered now and I slogged up what is normally a fairly swift ascent. Then it's almost downhill all the way back to Cobham, where I had a second pit-stop, before riding home. Wind against made it a real struggle.
