A Group July 2nd

A stormy and Wet forcast did not deter 16 A group riders : Vic, Ed, Jeff, John B, John S, Rob, Ray, Frank C, Bob, Pete B, Mike M, Neil, Irene (Not grumpy at all!), Toni, & new comer Dave Vine (Not Vines!) our Airnimal friend. Under overcast skies we crossed Bookham Common onto the track through the woods and tunnel to East Horsley emerging by the butchers and surprisingly the smell of fresh bread! Onward on the climb up to Netley Heath slight drizzle, rain jackets on befor Pitch Hill and the whoosh down to The Bull at Ewhurst. A mixed reception prompted several to move on to Little Thatch Park, four bought sandwiches in the village and the rest dined happily inside. Leafy lanes more drizzle turning to warm and pleasant found us at TanHouse Farm for lovely cakes a selection of teas. My skil as a leader ie keeping the riders guessing disintergrated after tea as I was soon left to find my own way home in the trail of fast disappearing back wheels! 57miles
