A Group 16th December - Weybridge to Puttenham and Effingham. Invitation to Ride.

We’ll be riding south-west from Weybridge, over the Hogs Back, and back to Effingham. Lunch will be at The Good Intent pub, Puttenham, which has nicely-spaced tables in a heated marquee, with tea, for those wanting to stop, at The Coffee Bar, Effingham.

Approximately 23 miles to lunch, with a longish afternoon, for a winter ride, of 18 miles to tea. As such I would like to make an Early Start, with first-comers to arrive at the pub at noon, and ensure as much daylight riding as possible.

My two co-leaders are Hans and Janice, with the following planned departure times from Churchfields  Recreation Ground:-

9.40am Hans

10.00am Janice

10.20am Ged

The planned route includes some limited off-road riding, a good gravel Bridle Path and a short path to take us over the over the R.Wey at Guildford. There is the opportunity to shorten the route in the morning if the weather is grotty: less so in the afternoon.

The Good Intent has requested that we pre-order lunch in order for the kitchen to have things ready. Please make your choice from the attached menu (unfortunately not online) when you respond to this invitation, and I will confirm orders before leaving Weybridge. 

                                                                                         

The routine Coronavirus protocols apply as contained on the website and which you should be familiar with.

Please respond to this invitation by Monday evening 14th Dec. By email; gedlawrenson150@gmail.com, or by the Wayfarers WhatsApp. 

If you are unable to ride after responding to this invitation please let me know before Weds. morning. In the (unlikely) event of more than 15 riders responding numbers will be chosen on a first-come first-served basis.

Further details of groups and departure times will be emailed to you. The .gpx route can be made available to those willing to assist Hans and Janice navigating the route, as they may not have had the opportunity to recee the route beforehand.

Many Thanks
