A Group 25th July

We rode from Dorking to Staplefield, via Lambs Green Faygate and Hammer Ponds, on a very hot day. 14 of us set out but unfortunately we lost Mike Morley when he stopped for an unannounced comfort break which was not noticed by our back marker, we made good progress on an uneventful ride to arrive at The Jolly Tanners by 1 o'clock. A good selection of beers and food were available here, but it took a long time to take all of our orders, so we did not get away till about 2:40pm. However, everyone seemed to be happy to have an extended lunch break on such a hot day. After lunch some made their own way back, the remainder of us returned heading East towards Turners Hill then heading North via Copthorne and Smallfield to Redhill Aerodrome. The cafe was just closing when we arrived, but they kindly agreed to serve us. After a welcome break, it was straight back via Merstham, Fanny's Farm and Banstead. Welcome to Pete Beyer for what I think was his first Wayfarers ride.
Thanks to all corner markers and Janice for back marking duties.

Finally, good luck to all who are riding the Prudential ride London this year.

Hi Keith my announced "P" stop must have been rather timid but clearly neither Janice or Jeffrey understood my intention. I shot off up to the KPRC 10 TT car park and left my Van Nic clearly parked on the Echelon sing on the RHS at the left corner having gone up the hill past the church. Chased after you down to the "T" junction hence through Newdigate to Rusper when I text Dave V, where is lunch. Pitty I missed you all but I ended up checking the Hilly 50 course down Logmore Lane having surmounted Coldharbour beforehand as training for the Pru. I also set up the Hilly 50 start with Rykas before going home via Box Hill.
Look forward to seeing some of you if not all on Sunday. Best of luck have a safe ride!
