A dozen Bs (including newcomer Neil Warland, welcome, Neil) headed south from Redhill, soon joining N21 but leaving it at the Hospital roundabout. After crossing the M23 a quick left and right soon brought us to Outwood and t'mill (still for sale). Having left a message on Shipley Bridge answering machine and having warned of our impending visit three weeks ago during my recce, I considered we had time for an additional loop from Smallfield to include Copthorne. However on arriving at the Chef and Brewer they seemingly didn't know about us, but never mind we were soon seated and eating.
Bearing in mind the weather we have had I thought that, as in the morning, we should keep to the roads after lunch. We headed for Reigate Garden Centre via Horley, Meath Green (teddies still on duty), Lonesome Lane (which won't be so lonesome when all the new houses in Meath Green are occupied) and the residential roads of Reigate. Half of us stopped here, the remainder pressed on home.
A nice, dry, and occasionally sunny day for a ride, not quite too cool, thanks all for company and Tony for backmarking.
