Out from Cobham, up to Ranmore Common via Effingham, down White Down. Up tp Leith Hill via Abinger, then down and along to the Surrey Oaks at Newdigate. Back on a rolling flat route to Denbies via Betchworth.
As promised, a ride of two halves. Testing climbs before lunch, taken at a steady pace, followed by a romp through the flatlands to lunch then on the tea. 33 miles 12.5mph average - but see the plot below for the am/pm contrast!
The pub was outstanding in every way. A not-messed-around-with old school pub of many rooms and multiple log fires. A range of real ales that would be difficult to better. An extensive and interesting menu. AND we arrived at just about 1pm and were fed, watered (sic) and ready to roll by 2pm - not bad indeed considering there were 16 or 17, or was it 18 with Ingrid who rode there directly? Herding cats is a doddle compared to counting Wayfarers!
Piquet
