A Group March 10th

Whilst the sun was out it was spring (though there's was little green to speak of) but the northeasterly was a sharp reminder of what we have endured for the last three months. 17 headed along the Bottom Road to Effingham and thence down to the junction. With pipelayers blocking the Forest Road we skirted past the golf course. Between the Horsleys a law lecture given by clapped out white van man went unheeded. Just before Bill 4, we turned north again and after a teethrattling ride over the farm road were soon at Burnt Common. Although invisible, the Wey guided us to the New Inn and main roads to our lunchstop, the Mayford Arms. They had reserved a room for us, unnecessary as we were more than 3/4 of the customers throughout our stay.

After a very leisurely lunch Jacob's Well and the A3 cyclepath was the chosen way back. Due to translation difficulties with Toni (my fault), we endured a noisy, bumpy and stony ride over the M25 interchange and into Cobham Sainsburys where a dozen were left for a final frenzy of feasting.

It was good to see Tony Bensberg at Bocketts complete with a sparkling fixed wheel machine!
