The day broke with a strong southwesterly and driving rain. As nominated rides leader, I reluctantly threw off the duvet and ground my way out to Cobham to meet the valiant few who had made it thus far.
Nine A's set off in pouring rain across the Tilt and up Blundel Lane to Oxshott. The track from Fairoak Lane to Claygate was quite rideable despite the conditions and so it was in through Hook and Chessington to take the newly surfaced and now all weather path along the Bonesgate towards Tolworth.
Sticking to roads and tarmac paths we zigzagged back along the Hogsmill to enter Ewell along Meadow Path and then into Nonsuch Park. Here, with excellent timing, we caught up with the B's just in time to get to Prezzo's at Cheam for the Anniversary Lunch.
Many thanks to Lynda for organizing another excellent do.
