We will meet at the Day Centre in Claygate and ride to The Woolpack in Banstead. The management at the pub don't require us to pre-order and I think they are intending to serve us at the tables for both drinks and food orders.
The car park isn't ideal for parking bikes so I asked the manager at the pub if the side gate could be opened for us before we arrive so that we can wheel our bikes into the garden area. I don't imagaine that anyone will be dining outdoors.
This is the route:

Individual leaders may choose to vary this, according to their whims on the day.
Between Leatherhead and Walton-on-the-Hill there will be some undulations but much of the route will be less challenging. Just South of Claygate, New Road should be even dryer than it was this week.
Please confirm by email or private WhatsApp that you wish to come on this ride and indicate any preference for early or late departure. Your sub-leaders will be Christina and Francis. It will be cold so wear your warmest things.
After lunch there is no organised afternoon ride, allowing us to get home before dark. We will still be in the period of the shortest afternoons in the year with sunset scheduled for 15:51.
