The main thing to know is that it will be just like a normal Wednesday ride, with separate A/B/Easy Riders rides, except that all rides will meet for lunch at Brockham Cricket Pavilion. Bring your picnic to Leatherhead for elevenses (or buy it at Sainsbury's there) and transport will be available to take your picnic to Brockham. Tea and coffee will be available, or you may wish to bring something a little stronger. The whole thing is just an excuse for (another) sociable lunchtime with all the groups together. Your leader may let you linger a bit longer over lunch, maybe not - afterwards each group will go their own way to tea as normal. All welcome - if you don't want to ride there is car parking at Brockham, which will be open from 12-2.30pm. See you there!

Hi Simon
Will the ride be ending at Leatherhead too please?
Thanks
Hi Ruth,
Just saw your comment on facebook and answered it there but I'll repeat what I said here: On Wednesdays there are three different rides: the A group often goes a bit faster or perhaps has more hills, the B group has a regular "CTC pace" ride, and the Easy Riders will have a shorter ride at a slower pace. There is usually something for everyone unless you are called Chris Froome, in which case you will be disappointed :-) Each of the three ride leaders will choose their own tea stop: I would guess that the A/B group will go to somewhere around Dorking/Leatherhead tomorrow, and the Easy Riders will head back closer to Epsom or Ewell, almost certainly via Leatherhead. I'm sure the ride leader will find someone who can get you back to Leatherhead if you don't know the way. Given the uncertain weather forecast for tomorrow, the rides may be shorter than usual ... but you would be most welcome to join us, rain or no rain! Simon.
From John Austin who is leading the B group:.
Tea depends on numbers and how many want a lead return. I am thinking of Walton-on-the-Hill. But I would suggest that she goes for Leatherhead on the basis that I can easily direct her from whatever route we take or from our tea stop.
