A Group Sept 5th

A Team Report From Frank Cubis

We left Cobham sharp at eleven numbering 17 consisting of Don & Richard from the Redmon CC, Ed, Rob, Toni, Graham, Ray, Pete’s M & B, John’s S, N & B, Vic, Julian & Sou’Wester Editor Mike M.
Heading for I know not where, I thought it was Ewhurst but lunch was on the Bookhurst Road, Cranleigh, via Ockham, Ripley, Burntcommon, Burpham, Guildford Town centre onto the A281 to Shalford then took the lane to Wonersh then Shamley Green then Smithwood Common to lunch at The Little Park House Pub, where we ate outside and many found the helpings just to large for comfort. From lunch it was through Ewhurst, Forest Green where 16 of us negotiated a tight right hander and Ray was seen untangling himself from his steed in a ditch, fortunately with just a few scratches and nettle stings, the group broke up a little here not knowing of our super fit Octogenarian’s plight.
Dropping down into Ockley to the A29 it was a left and right into Cole’s Lane, across the A24 to Capel to Newdigate, Blackbrook were we more or less regrouped to Pixham Lane to Denbies for tea, there we found the B group just beating us to the counter. From Cobham to lunch was 18 miles, the same distance from lunch to Denbies, ridden at a fairly brisk pace.
