A group ride 5 December from Cobham (Christmas Lunch!)

I'm told we should aim to arrive at the Angel in Long Ditton by around 12.30 or so for the Christmas lunch, so this is not the day for anything too strenuous/ambitious. The plan is a gentle ride from Cobham via Stoke D'Abernon, up past the Yehudi Menuhin school, through Leatherhead high street and onto Long Ditton via Ashtead Common, Horton Country Park and Claygate. Just 17 miles and a mere 600ft or so of climbing (not enough to burn those calories you are going to be piling on - never mind). PLEASE FIT YOUR MUDGUARDS - the section through Ashtead Common and Horton Country Park is scenic but may be quite muddy!
