After elevenses at Dorking, A and B groups made their separate ways to Roothill. Simon volunteered to be bend marshal and Mark volunteered to be despatcher. Both very important jobs. Thanks.
Terry set off first and was pleased to equal his Personal Best achieved two days ago when practising checking. Pam almost equalled that distance but soon about half a dozen had gone further, but not by much. Unfortunately later competitors had to contend with two large tractors with even larger trailers travelling in the opposite direction, followed by two cars ! Precipitation held off until all had finished but made the prize givng at Brockham green a little damp. Lady runner-up and inner tube winner was Steph whilst Pam won another of Ed’s marvellous wood carvings. Similarly Steve Duffin ran up and won a tube, Mike Reynell also won one of Ed’s carvings.
The As then headed off for lunch, the Bs adjourned across the road to The Royal Oak where good lunches were speedily served. After lunch several Bs headed direct for home but Ann, Steph, John A, Tony Hooker and Terry had a short, mostly dry ride round the lanes passing a heavily laden but just out of reach sloe tree. We went our separate ways at Denbie’s roundabout, Tony and Terry having a cuppa first.
Thanks all for supporting this fun, low mileage event.
Terry
