Easy Riders July 1st

C Group – Easy Riders run 1st July

Nine of us left the RBL elevenses stop together, (Denis and Fuzz electing to make their separate ways to lunch) We headed towards West Horsley via Plough Lane, passing the Black Swan, through Hatchford then along Guileshill Lane. We turned left into Rose Lane/Ripley Lane and on to West Horsley and lunch at the “King William IV”. Diana left us at West Horsley to eat her sandwiches in the churchyard, and Tony left to keep an appointment. Denis and Fuzz joined us for a pleasant lunch in a shaded part of the the garden. After lunch Denis left us and we headed through West Horsley towards Effingham Junction via The Drift. Bill left us here to make his way to Cobham. At Effingham Junction railway station the remaining six of us went offroad across Banks Common to come out at the tunnel car-park Bookham. From there we took to the leafy avenues of Fetcham then across by the Leatherhead mill pond to arrive in time for tea at the Leatherhead Swan Centre Day Centre. After a welcome break we all made our separate ways home. A round trip of about 16 miles from the elevenses start, quite far enough on a scorching hot day

Many thanks for leading the ride today despite the hip problem that you have been suffering from. It was in the true spirit of the Royal British Legion! Bravo!
