Hello Wayfarers
All will share my great sadness to learn that our revered doyen Wayfarer and friend Ron Beams died peacefully on Saturday after being admitted to hospital for a recurring complaint and deciding that he did not wish to receive further surgery. He missed centurian status by less than four months. How lucky we Wayfarers were to have him in our midst most Wednesdays and how surely we will miss him. We offer our condolences to his son and daughter and their families in the loss of so eminent a head of family. Ron's funeral at Randall's Park Crematorium at 10.15 am on Monday week 8th May 2006 should be well attended.
Pete's 'A' group ride (to Ifield) report expected imminently, but I've got to go to Wimbledon Theatre with Lynda and friends, so will send on separately.
Hello Brian. On a pleasant, mild morning (a few pairs of shorts on view!) I led 'B' group of Angie, David, recumbent Ed, Johns M and S, Les, Norman, Ray H and Robin south from Redhill to Turners Hill (the four-letter word loved by cyclists), via Outwood, Smallfields, the eastern edge of Copthorne then Crawley Down to the only hill of the morning. We were made very welcome at the pub (forgot the name!) but it is on the right hand side as you head south on the B2028 beyond TH. After a delicious lunch Ray left to make his own way home, the rest of us headed back to TH crossroads where we turned left onto the B2110, shortly forking right to enjoy a long freewheel before turning onto a minor road which led to the western edge of Copthorne. We kept off the main roads as long as possible but eventually had to join the B2036 to Horley, where we left Ed at the railway station. We passed through Horley and Meath Green, checked the teddy bears were in residence, and then proceeded along Lonesome Lane. Soon John M had a rear puncture, but with 6 observers/opinion givers/helpers? and one puncture all was soon well - except when he came to inflate with a CO2 inflator when the cartridges supplied didn't fit the inflator! Back to the old-fashioned pump. We then had an uneventful ride to Reigate Garden Centre, after which we broke up into several groups to head in different directions.

And the previous week: From Dorking seven of us, Angie Launder, David Aylett, Terry Lowe, Norman Goody, Ray Harrison, Cliff Whitfield and I headed south. Ray (didn't feel like it) and Cliff (hasn't been out for some time) soon turned back. Five remaining rode to Lambs Green, The Lamb Inn, via Newdigate and Rusper for lunch. Comments re the lunch venue ranged from "We came here on Sunday" to "Never been here before". On to tea at Dover's Green, Sand Cross Lane Garden Centre via Charlwood, Norwood Hill, Meath Green Lane, Lonesome Lane. Weather good.
