Midsummer is almost upon us, so it’s time for the Shoreham
Century, the Wayfarers traditional outing to the seaside.
We will be following Mark Gladwyn’s now classic, not too hilly,
route, starting 08.45 sharp for
those meeting at North Cheam, heading via Epsom Downs, the highest point of the
day, to Tanhouse Farm – Note Change of 11’s Stop.
At Tanhouse we
regroup leaving 10.45
sharp for Shoreham (30 miles) arriving, headwinds etc permitting,
around 13.15. Roadworks in Wineham which we will have to walk. One short
section of gravel (less than ½ mile) which should not give anyone problems.
Lunch at the Bridge
Inn (www.thebridgeinnshoreham.co.uk)
overlooking the estuary, or wherever you fancy in Shoreham.
I will lead the group back, but some may prefer to return by
train from Shoreham, Horsham, or Dorking.
First tea stop in Horsham (22 miles) hopefully around 16.30
at the Pavilions in the Park (which
is actually the sports centre) Hurst Road, RH12 2DF, near the Station, as
previous years. (www.thepavilionsinthepark.co.uk).
Second “tea” stop in Leatherhead Weatherspoon’s (19 miles)
where refreshments are not limited to tea.
Which adds up to about 70 miles from Tanhouse + your ride
to/from home.
Pray for dry weather, and I look forward to seeing you next
Wednesday.
Any questions, or if anyone wants a GPX of the route, or
volunteer to back mark, please email (d.vine207@btinternet.com).
Dave
