Invitation to 'A' group ride 29 September from Redhill to Ashdown Forest

 You are invited to join the Wednesday 'A' group ride from the Pistachio cafe in Redhill Memorial Park. 

We have enjoyed very good weather on our rides through the summer, this Wednesday looks to mark our transition into autumnal riding: it will be cooler, and we may have light rain. Actually over the last few days the forecast has been changing favorably for the rain to arrive earlier so it may yet be fine. For sure the woods we pass through are bearing to yellow amber and gold. 

The ride will be all on road, through Lingfield, then some good minor roads ascending Hollow Lane (7% hill) thru Ashurst Wood, Forest Row and Ashdown Forest, past Weir Wood Reservoir then a climb to lunch at the Old Dunnings Mill pub. The reservoir feeds the Medway River. It and two other parallel streams flow that eastwards have shaped the hills and valleys of this area we will ride through. There are few pubs in the area that do lunches of the kind we like, so it is 27 miles to the one pub that does fit the bill. Then we have an easy afternoon stint of 22 miles to Denbies. As we already have done a long haul to get to Redhill, the route has easy options if you want to bale out early for Horley or Redhill or Dorking rail stations. 

The full route in Komoot from which you can get a gpx. As per Komoot it is 2275 ft climbing.
Updt 27 Sep .. the main route in Garmin.
The shorter ending route in Komoot for Horley station or Redhill.  And the bale out in Garmin.

Please send your request to join to me by email - neilwarland43@gmail.com - by 6pm Monday, along with your choice of lunch from the Old Dunnings Mill Menu. 

Thanks,  Neil W.
