And there we go... one last soggy wet ride home and that's us done for the year. Wishing all our friends and followers a wonderful Christmas and an even better 2021 than 2020 when it comes. Re-opening 5th Jan - see you then.

And Lo! Although they were 100% recycled and carbon neutral there was still no room in the inn..... top marks to our window dresser this year.

Frank Patterson the world's favourite cycling artist.. new book stocks now in and ready to post worldwide as usual. Always a popular choice at Christmas. The master of economic use of line and white space. New copies exclusively available from Pilgrim Cycles.

A few new builds to go out this week. Here's a brand new Pilgrim 'Whitedown' fast tourer / audax build being collected shortly. Always repeatable, not always identical. #audax #reymolds631 #madeinengland #surreyhills #steelisreal

[Pilgrim Cycles @PilgrimCycles]

Clearing out some stock in anticipation of reopening fully at some point. We have one brand new Sabbath September AR1 titanium gravel bike remaining that we would love to see go to a good home. Medium size ready to ride - contact us for details on '[email protected]'

End of a busy week's servicing. Shop closed but open by appointment and can turn most things round in a couple of days. While-you-wait quick repairs not a problem when we're at the shop. Email '[email protected]' for availability. Still mostly closed at weekends.

Hope springs eternal... these came out all on their own this week. Happy Easter to all but please stay away from the #surreyhills and #boxhill unless very local. You know it makes sense.. The Zig Zag and Box Hill paths will are all closed for the weekend. #surreyhillsaonb

[Pilgrim Cycles @PilgrimCycles]

Thought it time to start another build today... although here's no hurry as collection is still a long way in the future. Shop remains closed but we are responding to emails. #staysafe #workingfromhome #SupportTheNHS

@SurreyMassageC Oh dear - total idiots. Why anyone is taking a car out for their daily brief exercise is utterly beyond me. Is a privilege not a right and it will be withdrawn. #stayathome

[Pilgrim Cycles @PilgrimCycles]

@DestinationBike Very... his brother just has to paint the garage door and help me with some fencing.

[Pilgrim Cycles @PilgrimCycles]

Approaching end of Week 1 on lockdown. Offered our eldest £100 if he properly finishes Ulysses before we're allowed out again. My instinct says the money's safe.

Good to hear... 'Where there's a Will' is the only book I remember reading twice in the same month... would be a great choice for anyone's virtual cycling needs at present.....

Congratulations Emily!
We look forward to reading more of your work soon.

@AldredKeith @darrenfranks @DestinationBike Really. Monday was a different world.

Frank Patterson sets the appropriate tone in 1940...

Lets not use the freedom for 'short cycling exercise' as an excuse for an all-day jolly 7 days a week. Appearances matter and we aren't a special group.

Whilst the shop is now temporarily CLOSED we are still available by email at our usual address '[email protected]'

We are happy to quote for new builds or rebuilds etc for when we are able to reopen.

Many thanks to all our customers and see you again soon.

@Daveprit123 @thebackbench @BritishCycling @EastBradfordCC @OtleyCycleClub @britishcycling and @WeAreCyclingUK couldn't have been clearer in their advice, which most of us had already been following for ourselves. If you are too insecure or scared to cycle alone you are not a cyclist. It ain't difficult.

[Pilgrim Cycles @PilgrimCycles]

Just a note that we are now closing our small cafe for takeaways too as the huge numbers of people in the area this weekend are not something we wish to support or facilitate. Bike shop remains open and builds continue. Here's a couple of new ones just going out.. Thanks :-)

[Pilgrim Cycles @PilgrimCycles]

New Pilgrim 'Whitedown' audax build to start today... lime green's a popular choice.

Blackthorn's out early again.. must mean something other than early sloes....

Just need an early frost now, and patient harvesters come the time of mists and mellow fruitfulness.
