B Group 

Wednesday 29^th July

Thanks to Tim for the maps and photos and also for “escorting” Pam to lunch after her puncture even though they took the extension!

Like the A’s we weaved our way through the lanes SE of Dorking. In fact the A’s passed us while we waiting for back markers which caused confusion with one motorist who thought we were cycling 4 abreast – it was probably just the A’s passing the B’s. Toni dealt with her woman to woman – in my view the best way.

Dorking for some is quite a trek and the thought of a further 17 miles to lunch was just too much. We saw Liz and Gill outside the pub in Leigh but we declined their invitation as we were at that moment closing in on our chosen destination – The Black Horse close to Reigate Heath.

At the pub, who were very good with service and the quality of food and beer, we were joined by Tim, Pam and Ian and to my surprise Peter C and another. I think they had gone out in front and missed my left turn off-road through Beggarshouse Lane where Ed rode into a hedge but came through the experience OK.

After lunch it was back to the outskirts of Dorking via Betchworth, Brockham, across the Golf Course and Pixham Lane. Tea was taken at Annie’s (just in time).

Another good day out with the B’s.
