After lunch we tackled the fickle road surface of Weare St - with potholes now edged in white! Following the familiar roads north via Capel, Newdigate and Henfold we all looked forward to the last climb of the day - Box Hill, and the National Trust cafe for tea.
There was general agreement that a hill-top finish was appropriate for a summer ride - especially as Simon's photos demonstrate most had saved their climbing legs for the final push! Thirteen reached the tea stop, with ice-cream a welcome addition to tea and cakes.
Thanks for Mike Barrett for back-marking and photos courtesy of Geoff and Simon. A good turnout - ridden at a nice pace resulting in a early finish!

Well Simon I found the MWW Blog and I assume that up-loading photo's is the same as it always was? I will try and post a demonstration Blog with photo in due course for my own benefit and perhaps to try and encourage others to do the same.
Meanwhile Ged what an excellent ride, a bit too up-hilly for me with my heavy Raleigh bike but the downhills were splendid. As you say it was good to have two competent lady members with us and I apologies profusely to Janice for the misunderstanding over back-marking at top of White Down. Thank goodness she did not come tumbling down!
