A Group 12th Feb

Maybe the best day of the week and a lovely day to be cycling. Eighteen of us set off from the Vineries along Orestan Lane and then the long steady pull up Green Dene to the top of Combe Lane. After Shere we looped west through Farley Green, Stroud Lane and Smithwood Common to approach Cranleigh which we bypassed along Amlets Lane. At Ewhurst it was reported that Simon had a puncture ( just a leaky patch it seems) and the rest of us pushed on to the pub at Walliswood. The Scarlett Arms service was quick and friendly and we werre away soon after two. Now the breeze was behind us and we made good progress up Mole Street to Ockley and on to Capel. A white van decided that hazard warning lights gave him a free pass to overtake towards oncoming traffic. A sign of longer days was the good turnout for tea at Denbies.






More hazardous driving on the way home when four of us were about to turn right by the church in Leatherhead we were overtaken on the wrong side of the road just as Dave F was about to turn.
