Any of the local bike guys know any rides that aren't "seriously scary" and aren't 100 miles long around the south east? Some of the newer to bikes peeps may like a shorter, easier introduction to bike riding, and there has to be some 30-50 milers round the surrey hills somewhere? I wouldn't have a clue where to start looking though, and this TT stuff just doesn't appeal and wouldn't really be condusive to good base work.
Any thoughts?
