A Group Ride to Horley - 23 May

With a large number of the usual suspects away in Majorca, there were just nine of us to enjoy a leisurely tour of the lanes in the sunshine.

Punchbowl Lane, Root Hill and Dawes Green were soon passed as we headed for Lonesome Lane (although increasing less lonesome as all the new houses are being built at Meath Green). After skirting Horley and Smallfield we rode past Copthorne School before joining the busier roads.

Just quick blast down the A264 before turning off for Copthorne and heading for Shipley Bridge. After a bit of deer avoidance it was on to The Jack Fairman in Horley for lunch.

After lunch we headed for Charlwood and Russ Hill before turning towards Dorking with thoughts of tea. Concern was expressed that the B's may have eaten all the cake at Denbies so we rode on to Pilgrim Cycles in Westhumble where tea was taken and their wide selection of bikes examined and discussed.

Thanks to all for a fine day out and to Pete for duties at the back.
