Pete Beyer has designed an adventurous ride for B Group. In the manner to which we are starting to become accustomed several small teams of six will depart at staggered time intervals to minimise the risk of any of us transmitting COVID-19 to more than five of our colleagues.
Riding guidelines which apply at this stage of emergence from lockdown are the same as last week and can be read here:

In Cobham there are a couple of cafés (Fego and The Bakery and possibly others) for anyone wanting refreshment before take-off but we will gather in the Leg of Mutton Car Park, opposite the British Legion in time for our departures. The bad news is that the toilet behind the British Legion is mostly closed at present. (We could have met at the Medicine Garden for elevenses and use of their facilities but A Group will be there.)
The route can be studied and downloaded from RideWithGPS using this web link:

Once you are viewing this route (in a web browser) you have numerous options to export the route for use in your Garmin GPS unit or in your phone, including with the RideWithGPS app which is free to install on your phone. There are also several options for the map type which you can select to suit your own viewing preference.
The route will take us into the Surrey Hills for a fairly typical experience of this terrain. Through Effingham, up and over Ranmore Common, down White Down then up to Abinger Common, down to Friday Street then up to Coldharbour for our lunch stop. The Farm Shop there is open for tea, coffee and snacks but it's best to bring a packed lunch.
Please reply as soon as possible to Pete and myself to confirm that you intend to come. Preferred option is via the B Group WhatsApp group. Otherwise please send a text or WhatsApp message to either of us or an email to me, timcourt50@gmail.com.
We will advise you on Tuesday via this blog about the composition of the riding groups and departure times. Your leaders will be Pete, Christina, Dave Cullen and myself so we have space for 20 riders in addition to the leaders.
Looking forward to your replies
Pete and Tim

Cobham toilets have been regularly open in past couple of months, and were open yesterday (Sunday), so perhaps a one-off closure when Ged visited.
