Whilst going along the cycle track towards Dorking we saw the A Group going in the same direction but on the other side of the road. Along to Brockham and then to lunch at the Plough in Leigh, where we arrived at about 12:40.
At the pub, we were made most welcome, tables had been set aside for us and our orders were soon served.
We departed the pub and made our way towards the Dorking area via the Punch Bowl Lane, crossed the Reigate Road, through Pixham and then up to the top of Box Hill via the zig-zags. We paused at the top to re-group and also to congratulate one of our party, Theresa, as it was the first time she had climbed that particular hill.
As it was just after 3:00 pm, riders started to peel off and make their way home, whereas the remaining riders made their way over Headley and towards Epsom.
Due to darkness starting to come, a decision was made to have afternoon tea at the Old Moat Café, opposite Horton Park, rather than at the Golf club.
Five enjoyed tea and cake, where we again congratulated Theresa on her achievement, then we called time on a really good day, turned on our lights and made our way to our various homes.
Thanks to those that marked corners that enabled the ride to keep moving along, and also to Jennie for back marking.
Ride safe.
