20 plus riders set off from Dorking on a perfect sunny morning to Box Hill and
the Zig-Zags. The road was closed to traffic due to the impending Olympic
cycle races but they were allowing cyclists to go through, so the B group (along
with many other bikers) made our way up to the viewpoint.
We continued to Pebble Hill where unfortunately Cliff got a puncture before descending to Betchworth. Our lunch destination was Skimmington Castle, a lovely (but rather busy) pub tucked away in Bonnys Road on Reigate Heath. Eventually we headed off towards Redhill (via a dodgy stretch of bridle track - sorry about that!!) before ascending up through Gatton Park to our tea stop at Fanny's Farm.
Thank-you to the ever dependable Terry as back marker - what would we do without him! A very interesting and enjoyable day, although I only clocked up a modest 42 miles.
