A Ride: Leatherhead to Esher


The promise of a fine day attracted a large number of A riders for the journey to Esher yesterday. A swift ride through Effingham up and over White Down, where Mark demonstrated his downhill skills. We made good progress through Holbury St Mary's, Ewhurst and Cranleigh to Farley Green and our lunch destination at the William IV.  A good lunch and a team photograph with the local livestock before a swift descent to the foot of Newlands Corner. Up and over but not before Keith had won the 'I Spy' award at the top of the hill. The Giro cafe in Esher for tea and cake after making good time from lunch.

Good to see so many out enjoying the fine day especially Ray and Tony d'Italia, who passed us with remnants of the B group whilst we were at tea.

Thanks to Geoff for back marking and everyone who marked corners, it makes the ride that much swifter and easier to manage. Great day everyone, well done!
