B Group - 27th September

Wednesday 27th September was a beautiful autumnal day.

 

Eight of us set out from Redhill for a splendid ride due south towards Staplefield (near Handcross, just off the A23). The ride was slightly longer than usual but took us further south than the B riders usually venture. 

 

After lunch and an unusual photo opportunity we made our way back towards Reigate and the foot of the North Downs scarp slope. This is a hill that we often try to avoid but on this occasion we rode briskly to the top only to find that the tea hut had not remained open to welcome us. 

 

Thank you to other B group riders who made this a very pleasant day out.
