The doom and gloom weather forcast failed to deter 12 A group riders from following south from Dorking, Newdigate, Capel, Oakwood Hill to Lunch at ‘The Chequers’ RowHook. Tony's intepretation of the Italian way to say ‘Sausage & Mash’ proved interesting over lunch! Nigel had a toothless chainring problem en route. Pam & Irene were refered to as ‘Gert & Daisy’ to much amusement from members of a certain age. Grant has recovered very well after riding 195miles on Sunday in a 12hour time trial. John at tea at Dorking Leasure Centre was working out the best route to get to the Albert Hall to perform at 6pm. Graham vanished temporarily after lunch but reappeared at tea. A notable feature of the day was to hear Frank Cubis complaining about the steep hill just before Dorking! (he still left us all behind). The day ended without any serious rain with 56 miles covered.
