Some 11 (Pete M, Julian,Rob,John B, Ray, Mike M, Bob, Toni, Ed and Will, led by Pete B) set off on a bright sunny, if a little windy, day. Joined briefly by Bernie before she headed off to Reigate and places west, we cut through the backstreets of Redhill and took the farm road through Doversgreen. Half a mile of the A217 and then off through Irons Bottom and another farm road from Mynthurst which took us to Parkgate. The, new to some, lane through Cudworth led us back to Partridge Lane and then south taking advantage of various almost traffic free lanes to enter Crawley from the Ifield direction. Whilst Mike and John choose to negotiate the traffic strewn roundabouts, the rest took the cyclepath, all arriving at the Jubilee Oak ready for the usual cheerful Wetherspoon's fare.
Hunger and thirst satisfied, we set off with the now favourable wind taking route 21 through the bowels of Gatwick Airport and into Horley. Here, Mike and Toni, fearing that more miles might ruin their performances in the evening 10, headed the direct route home, accompanied by Bob. The rest went up past Redhill Aerodrome to climb over the A25 and through Merstham to Fannys Farm for tea before making our own ways home.
