After the searing heat of the previous two days the weather was dry, warm and very pleasant.
15 of us left Guildford, climbing up to the top of the Mount, via an easier route thanks to Vic, to the top of Down Lane. We passed through Compton, to the side of Godalming, then along to Busbridge, Hascombe and Loxhill. Then left and onto Cranleigh where we arrived outside the pub, the Richard Onslow at 12.50pm. We had pre-ordered food so it arrived soon after we sat down outside in the courtyard.
To our surprise whilst we were there, who should arrive but Steph, who having been delayed in getting to ‘elevenses’ had cycled on her own to catch up with us, thus we were sixteen!
Some decided to make their own way back from lunch whilst those remaining followed the Downs Link track to Ellen’s Green. Then familiar lanes, using Weare Street on to Capel, Newdigate and onto Brockham.
Ten of us had tea and lovely cake at the newly opened Reading Room in Brockham, somewhere that can be recommended.
Well done to everyone that joined us, as it was a challenging ride.
Thanks to those that marked corners that enabled the ride to flow, and also to David J for back marking.
Thank you for your company, a great day!
See you all on my next ride.
Jennie

For anyone interested in routes off road my morning meandering led me across two pretty bridleways east of Hascombe (marked private roads but in fact very well surfaced public bridleways). Brookwell to Selhurst Common and Scotland Farm via Nore.
