B Group ride on 21st April

Pete Beyer invites you to join his ride from Effingham next Wednesday.

The intention is for the groups to meet in The Street at Effingham. To get there, if you have approached it from Bookham, turn left at the roundabout a little way beyond the entrance to the Vineries and ride up past the Sir Douglas Haig pub. There are a couple of places you can get coffee (The Coffee Bar and The Bakery).

The plan is go up onto Ranmore, down White Down, climb to Abinger Hatch, then Friday Street, Leith Hill, and on towards Coldharbour, then down to Ockley. Round the south side of Capel, along to Rusper then turn north to Tanhouse Farm for lunch.

After lunch turn into Church Lane/Hoggspudding Lane by Newdigate church, and head towards Denbies via Roothill Lane.

Hopefully we shall arrive at Denbies in time for tea.

The majority of the climbing is before lunch, 19 miles, after lunch just 9 miles to Tea.

As Pete is currently without internet access please email David Jackson at d.jackson49@aol.co.uk by 18.00 hrs. on Monday 19th April if you wish to join the ride. He will send out details of your groups of 6 and start times on Tuesday.

David has phoned The Vineries to ask if they will be open to serve morning tea/coffee; they are open on a takeaway basis so that you can sit outside and drink it. This may appeal to some because The Vineries has toilets. However do remember that this is NOT the start point for the ride so allow plenty of extra time to get to the start for your scheduled departure.

Please observe the current Covid riding rules here, especially around keeping to your groups of 6.
