Better late than never, here is last week's 'B' group report - it didn't appear on the weblog. (It wasn't received for the Blog! But here it is now - Lisa)
After a brief committee meeting at Leatherhead, Norman led Gill, Jon, Les, Terry, Ray H and Phil M past Fetcham Mill Pond onto Lower Road through Bookham to Effingham. There we headed south along Beech Avenue to descend Whitedown, turning right onto the not so busy A25. Through Abinger Hammer (too late to see the clock strike) and Gomshall to turn off the main road and head for the Prince of Wales at Shere. Until quite recently a fillum was being made in Shere (and Godalming) but the makers and all their paraphernalia have now left. I understand one or two shopkeepers did quite handsomely out of their visit.
The PoW has been refurbished since we were last there, the food was fine. After lunch Phil and Ray left to go their own ways, I led southwards, then via Hoe Lane and Abinger Common to the foot of Leith Hill, pausing to admire the view south (we could barely see the South Downs). For a change we turned into Logmore Lane (the last time we went this way we were caught in a heavy thunderstorm with nowhere to shelter) - and enjoyed the views looking east, before arriving at Westcott, then back on the A25 to the outskirts of Dorking to Denbies where there was still plenty of chocolate cake. A nice day's ride - fortunately the forecast showers didn't materialise.
