Midsummer is almost upon us, so it’s time
for the Shoreham Century, the Wayfarers annual “dash” to the coast.
I will be following Mark’s now classic
“minimal hills” route, starting 09.00 sharp @ North Cheam, heading via Epsom
Downs, the highest point of the day, to Henfold (16 miles). Non-Shoreham riders
may choose a lower profile route to Henfold.
BTW Old School Lane
from Brockham to Rad Lane is likely to be closed next week for much-needed resurfacing so
probably we will go via Middle
Street and Brockhamhurst Road.
At Henfold we regroup leaving 10.45 sharp
for Shoreham (33 miles) arriving, headwind permitting, around 13.15. Two short
sections of gravel (less than ½ mile) which should not give anyone problems.
Lunch at the Bridge Inn (www.thebridgeinnshoreham.co.uk)
or wherever you fancy. You may also choose to dive into one or both of the
cycle shops with eye-catching displays opposite the Bridge.
I will lead a group back, but some may
prefer to get a train at Shoreham, Horsham, or Dorking.
First tea stop in Horsham (22 miles)
hopefully around 16.00 at the Pavilions
in the Park (which is actually the sports centre) Hurst Road, RH12 2DF,
opposite the Station, as last year. (www.thepavilionsinthepark.co.uk).
Second Tea stop in Leatherhead Wetherspoons
(19 miles).
Which adds up to about 90 miles + your ride
to/from home.
Pray for dry weather, and I look forward to
seeing you next Wednesday.
Any questions, please ask (d.vine207@btinternet.com).
Dave
