B Group - 17th August

The B ride had been planned so that it would take us further east than the B group had been for quite a while. In fact for many of the riders we were covering new ground. The weather was fabulous and we made our way east along the North Downs ridge.

We made it down the inappropriately named ‘Avenue’ with its gravel, large stones, hollows and fallen tree, truly a ‘technical’ descent. Once we had crossed the A25 we climbed up to Toy’s Hill for a pleasant lunch at the Fox and Hounds. We then made our way westwards back towards Bletchingley, Redhill and via Wray Lane to the summit of Reigate Hill.

In total we climbed 2623 feet. Well done and thank you to the ten riders who took part, especially the final five to make it to Reigate Hill and to Tim G. for back marking.

John - belated thanks for a very enjoyable ride, much in foreign parts.
