A Group 3rd April

16 of us headed out on a chilly morning for a roundabout route to Walliswood. Fortunately the weather was much better than had been forecast earlier in the week, and we were soon warmed up after one or two climbs.
We went out via West Horsley, Coombe Bottom then towards Albury and Farley Green, across Farley Heath to Run Common and Cranleigh. From here we headed south to connect with a short stretch of the Downs Link to Baynard Station, then on via Ellens Green to reach the Scarlett Arms in Walliswoods where we met Geoff Gregory, who had taken an easier route out as his knee has been giving him a problem. Lunch service was a little slow but eventually we were all fed and watered and ready to leave by about 2:15. There was no rush as the route home was pretty direct to Dorking via Leith Hill Place and Coldharbour. The majority stopped for tea at Denbies, the rest found our various routes home, luckily the rain that had been forecast did not arrive till most of us were home and dry. It was good to see Dave return for a ride with us today, welcome back (sorry I don't remember surname), Thanks to Janice for backmarking for the day and to all of the support from corner markers, also thanks to Mark for posting the ride map and stats.
