What a marvellous day for cycling - blue sky, negligible wind and free drink at Tanhouse (thanks, Simon). Ten Bs headed south through Rusper, noting the Plough and Attic Rooms has now reopened, and forked right. Soon we turned right to Langhurst and a further right brought us to Warnham level crossing. Turning right at the far end of Warnham soon brought us briefly to the busy A281 and the even busier A29 but only for a few yards. Then the climb to Rowhook, followed by a northish route to turn right into Froggetts Lane leading to The Scarlett Arms at Walliswood where Tracey organised our meals (and us). Generous portions soon appeared and everybody was pleased. (Not sure we needed the roaring fire, though).
The return route was via Okewood Hill, Ruckmans Lane and Weare Street (which has been partly resurfaced). A playful eastish breeze made progress slightly harder than the morning run. We followed the familiar route of Capel and Newdigate to Dorking then via Pixham Lane to Denbies where about half stopped for threes. We left sufficient cake for the As who arrived as we were leaving.
A very enjoyable day, lots of bluebells to see, thanks everyone, especially John A (tec) and Peter B (not very busy corner marker).
Terry
