The very blustery conditions didn’t seem to have deterred riders and 17 of us set off from Claygate through Oxshott and then via River Lane to Fetcham. The climb through Bookham to Chapel Lane was taken at a gentle pace and the descent of Blagden Hill treated with due caution given the conditions. Then via Pixham and Brockham to the Plough at Leigh. The relaxed pace of the day seemed to have extended to the food preparation and a lengthy wait ensued so we didn’t head for home until after 2.30. Avoiding Brockham via Tilehurst Lane and Punchbowl Hill we headed for Annie’s at Leatherhead where we found the A group just leaving. By now it was about 3.35 and few stayed for tea. The group was Irene ( who left us at Fetcham), Liz, Harold, Bernard, Mike M, Stephanie, Les, Cliff, Robin, Terry, Mark, Ian, Norman, Roger, Ed, Mick and myself. Thanks to Terry for backmarking and to Norman for splitting the group along the A244.
