B Group - Wed 29th June

A few drops of rain at Leatherhead and darkening skies sent a few potential B riders to the Easyride to Effingham.  However a party of eight set off briskly to try and beat the rain.  We took Pixham Lane to the Brockham golf course path, School Lane, Brockhamhurst, Shellwood, Parkgate, Hogspudding Lane, Broad Oak and down Russ Hill to the Hungry Horse.  Food was served quickly but the rain began to fall.  We lingered a little - Dave set off home - the remaining seven took Stan Hill and back down to Dorking via Henfold Lane and Punchbowl Lane.  At the foot of Box Hill Ed and Robin headed for Leatherhead, Vic for Chapel Hill leaving Moira and Dave from Coulsdon, backmarker John (thanks John) and me to climb Box Hill and return via Walton on the Hill.   Thanks to all for accompanying me through the persistent drizzle in the afternoon and remember if you're going to have a heart attack be within reach of the telephone box at Parkgate where there is a defibrillator!   Steph
