The off road and hills were dismissed with ease with even Liz enjoying them with her new found technique of going slower! Grant had things to do so, left us at Newlands Corner.
Lunch was served quickly and we all sat in the sun in the garden for the majority of the time with thunderstorms passing close by on St Martha’s Hill, when suddenly the rain hit us and we took shelter where we could. After some thunder and lightening to add to the fun there was a break in the storm so we made a dart for tea or home. Pete, Terry, John and friend decided they would make for Dorking and home, with the rest of us cycling for tea. We managed about a mile when the skies opened again and following a quick vote we made for Guildford station for a train home. Peter, Tim and Ray decided to ride the whole way home due to a break in the rain with Gill, Liz and myself catching a train to Woking where we had tea on the station while waiting for our next train, and finally home to Walton.
Thanks for everyone’s conversations along the way.
