A good start to the day - notice at entrance to Dorking Christian Centre.
After Jeff kindly set off leading the many As to Root Hill, I led a similar number of Bs eastwards out of Dorking, to be surprised just short of Punchbowl Lane where an incident with the As had just occurred. Realising we really couldn't help we carried on to the hill to find Pete Barnard and some As approaching from the opposite direction.
With Pete 'pushing off' (the competitors) I went first and put a stake in the ground where I stopped. Liz came next, but having been 'carved up' by a car , causing her to brake, didn't go as far as she might. Pam soon appeared and travelled further. Meanwhile my marker was soon passed with Tony just beating Bernard. Stephanie was runner-up to Pam. Soon Grant appeared and travelled much further than anyone.
The As had lunch at The Dolphin, Betchworth and the Bs dined at The Royal Oak, Brockham, where the winners received beautiful unique wooden awards carved by Ed - thanks, Ed. Runners-up received tubes . After lunch the Bs had a ride round the lanes, calling in at The Dolphin to find Maggie, Mark and Luke just about to depart. Most of us had refreshments at Annie's before making our separate ways.
Next year the fwc will be at a different time of year at a different venue - you have been warned!
