Furthest-travelling Mark
From Redhill I led the Bs onto N21 alongside the babbling Redhill Brook to Cormongers Lane then further off-road to Marsh Road. This led to Church Hill which I had considered for the fwc but decided it wasn't exciting enough. A short stretch of the A25 led to Bletchingley where, after a couple of minutes' waiting/sorting out the As appeared. Brian was chief 'pusher-off' at the hilltop on Outwood Lane and I went first. Soon Mark appeared and easily passed my marker. Angie was the lady travelling furthest followed by Liz and Simon was only just runner-up to Mark.
We then set off for lunch - not far - The Plough and Furrow at Smallfield via Outwood and Cogman's Lane but unfortunately Ed had a tumble en route - get well soon, Ed. After lunch the traditional awards were presented - a unique wood carving for the winners by Ed (thanks) and a spare tube for the runners-up.
Following the pleasant, quickly served lunch Angie volunteered to stay with Ed until help could reach him (thanks, Angie). From Smallfield we rode along Perrylands Lane, past the sign banning horses and wagons to Hathersham Lane, Salfords, Lodge Lane and Lonesome Lane to Reigate Garden Centre and welcome refreshments. Most stayed with me to Betchworth then chose to return home via Pebble Hill.
