After a few weeks of hill training, I thought a meander along the flat lands might be in order. Well, not so much a meander but a pacey ride to keep warm on a bitterly cold April morning. So, out from Cobham, past the Muddy Duck and on to Ripley. Skirted the edge of Old Woking left at Normandy and over the Hog's Back to The Good Intent at Puttenham. Fantastic pub: 6 Real ales, extensive well priced menu, and service so prompt the food arrived at the table before some of us did! Definitely a pub to use again!
After lunch it was up the Hill of Pain to the A3/A31 junction above Guildford picking up Susstrans 22 for a short off road stretch before descending the Hill of Fear into Guildford. Brakes duly tested, we headed up the Cobbles and on to the A25 for another pacey stretch to the West Horsley garden centre.
A nice 12.8mph rolling average for the day with the pacey morning being around 15mph
