Here is the route map of Wednesday's A Group Ride. It's about thirty miles elevenses to tea. Lunch will be served at the Old Bell Oxted and tea will be taken at Fanny's. There are some hills, both up and down, and Chalk Pit Lane, the popular test hill, has been included for your delight. It can easily be circumvented by those who don't fancy it.
I rode the route today and things aren't too bad. The lanes are pretty agricultural, with plenty of gravel and more pot-holes than before the snow, but nothing that should cause us any difficulty. What may be a problem, however, is the weather, as Wednesday's forecast currently shows the possibility of sleet or snow. We'll see.
If the weather really is a problem I shall post a cancellation notice here before 08:00 Wednesday morning. But I hope that there's no need, and look forward to seeing you all at Redhill.

Thanks for the preview of Wednesday's ride. There is only one thing a cycling masochist loves more than pain and that is the anticipation of pain! There do seem to be quite a few downhills. This looks really good. I do hope that the meteoroligical doomsayers do not interfere with snow and sleet. If they do, it will be a pleasure postponed. If not, a pleasure to look back on with the warm glow of pain recalled in tranquillity.
