A Big thank you to Brian for back marking and to all of those that marked corners and junctions.
Arriving at Tanhouse Farm a few of us felt that we had done half of the ride already. With the start of the day rather cold but sunny 19 of us set off for the Blue Ship at The Haven, soon after leaving we turned left on to Partridge Lane and out towards Charlwood then swinging round to Lambs Green and back to Rusper. The Rusper Road lead us down to Warnham, Broadbridge Heath and Slinfold. My intention was to pass Holmbush Manor but as my Garmin wasn't quite working with me I lead the group along a greater length of the A29 than intended, once at the turn off for The Haven we were back on the country roads and soon at the Blue Ship.
We were lucky enough to be able to sit in the sun for lunch, the service was not fast but the food was good, I will take more care when booking a pub to take a menu away with me so that we can preorder, my mistake this time.
As last week we were joined by a young lady by the name of Miss Marple who once securing her bike to the fence settled down in the sun, unfortunately she was not able to join us for the rest of the day.
Before setting off we gathered for the pub group shot not to disappoint our readers.
Once regrouped off again to New Road, Chilworth and Albury, a well travelled route. Together again and up Coombe Lane to Staple Lane, Ripley Road in to Gambles lane and our final stop at Pinnocks in Ripley for tea.
A good days ride and thank you to everyone that chose to ride along, now to recce my next ride at the end of May
Geoff
