Another step towards normality?
On 30 June, B Group will be meeting at the Fairfield Centre at Leatherhead for elevenses like we used to.
Hip hip Hoorah!
This is made possible despite limited spaces by the selfless decision of A Group and Easy Riders to stand aside and have their elevenses elsewhere.
For they are jolly good fellows, and so say all of us!
You are invited to come along for the ride, which will travel Eastwards but return in a loop to finish at the Moat House in Horton Lane in Epsom.
Lunch is at the Wattenden Arms near the top of Old Lodge Lane in Purley. It has tables indoors and outdoors (usual rules apply) and decent ale. It cannot match our upper middle class experiences in Ascot and Eton but it is the pub where the 18 and 20 year olds who gave their lives in the Battle of Britain from RAF Kenley would have supped their last pints.
We have an option of finishing points. The plan takes us through Banstead to go by Epsom Race Course, across Ashtead Common and finish at the Moat House garden centre cafe, but if individuals prefer, they can finish earlier at Pistachio's in Banstead.
Please let me know your finishing preference, so we can attempt to match riders' preferences with those of the leaders.
20 miles to lunch with three climbs. A further 7 much easier miles to Banstead, or 16 to the Moat House.
The route was adjusted on a recce today and the link is below. Sorry, it would not post as a link; you'll have to copy it and paste it into your search engine. All the leaders have it.
