B Group April 15th

On what turned out to be a very nice cycling day, I led Liz, Stephanie, Adam, Bernard, Brian G,Charles and Jack B, Dave and David V, Johns A, G and M, Norman and Robin from Henfold south to the steepish negative descent to Newdigate, on through Rusper to the A264 briefly and Warnham. Back to the lanes and our destination The Punchbowl at Oakwood/Okewood Hill. Their telephone was u/s so we surprised the staff but they coped admirably. After lunch we were able to check out the puncture repairing techniques of Norman and Charles and Jack B. Return to the Dorking area was by conventional route - unfortunately few bluebells were open in Weare Street - perhaps another couple of weeks. After using a few footpaths/cycle routes in Dorking (avoiding the main streets) we enjoyed a rather late 'threes' at Denbies, then mostly headed for Leatherhead and home.
