22nd May As on the Trivets 100k

 A good sunny day and eight of us set out to tryout the 100k route, all went very well road surfaces good until we came to the corner from Bones Lane turning left into Croydon Barn Lane, just around the corner the road surface is in a bit a of a state tending to make you ride in the middle of the lane, take care can have fast traffic. The road does get better further on.
Going into Horley the route originally from Mark went under the railway lines to the right, Brian suggested we try it out, on the other side the High Street had road works that appeared to indicate that it was being converted to a pedestrian area.
For the day of the Trivets ride after talking with Mark it would be best to continue along Station Approach and turn right over the bridge, passing the station on the left then entering Victoria Road, a familiar route when going to Weth'spoons.
There is also a small diversion through an estate but my suggestion is that we continue on Vicarage Lane and turn left at Lee Street, this again is a familiar route to most groups.
We followed on the designated route and ended up back at Brockham for lunch at The Royal Oak, food quickly served and tasted good.
OK, after lunch it was down to five of us to ride out the West route, road surface along Old School Lane a bit patchy around the farm area but this is soon past, we continued on the route as far as the Horsham Road and decided we would turn right to Walliswood, into Standen Lane, Mole Street.
We thought better than to go over Leith Hill and turned right on Forest Green Lane to Capel, Newdigate, Shelwood Cross and the familiar route to Strood Green where we stopped for tea.
I would like to say thank you to those that joined me on the ride, Brian G, Peter B, Alan I, Ken D, Dave F, Geoffrey S and Patrick W.
A good ride and good company
Thank you
Geoff
PS thanks to Mark for the route
