After a chilly start, today was an almost perfect day for cycling. I led fifteen As east from Cobham, turning into Tilt Lane then off-road River Lane leading to Pointers Lane, crossing the A3 by the footbridge. Some chose the direct route to Guildford, most followed me to Papercourt Lane via Pyrford Lock, then it was a little trafficy through Old Woking and Westfield. Heading south through Jacobs Well we used residential roads or cycle routes to reach our lunch destination, the Row Barge Inn, arriving just before the direct routers. A very pleasant break sitting by the river was slightly spoiled by the late arrival of a couple of lunches but we were under way again about 1400 hrs.
We then headed south briefly, under the A3 and over the A25 by footbridge, alongside the A25 until crossing it onto a cycle route. We could then hear but not see the A3 until joining the cycletrack alongside it. At Burnt Common we took to the lanes again, arriving at West Horsley via Tithebarns Lane, Hungry Hill Lane, Guileshill lane and Longreach leading to the penultimate off-road stretch, Lollesworth Lane. Back on the road to East Horsley, the last stretch of off-road led to Orestan Lane and Annie's at Leatherhead via the Lower Road, just avoiding school closing at Effingham. A very pleasant day, but the wind was a little chilly at times.
