Invitation to A group Ride from Effingham

 

The Effingham ride is from the Vineries GC Effingham (The Queen’s Stage remains temporarily closed)  to the Olive Tree at Ashtead Park GC.  At 41.5 miles and 2500ft, it is relatively short (but quite hilly) and all riders should  exceed 50 miles 3000ft door to door.

By arrangement with the Vineries, they are reserving tables for us but are unable to cope with both the A s and Bs, so unfortunately we will not be able to  mingle next week. (Apologies to the Bs and B ride leaders Dave and Jennie)

The route includes a return visit to High Barn Lane so has a particularly hilly first 12 miles to lunch and last 6 miles after lunch.

Lunch after 21.5 miles is at the Punchbowl Inn, Okewood Hill.

To assist the venue to  look after us efficiently, we have agreed to pre order food,

Check out our delicious food menus at The Punchbowl Inn Okewood Hill, Surrey

There is also a sandwich menu that I have also photographed and published on the A group WhatsApp chat.




After lunch we follow familiar routes including Weare Street and finally Little Switzerland. Tea is at the Olive Tree Cafe at Ashtead Park Garden Centre which remains open until 17:00.

If you want to join the ride please apply to me by email:  dlferrett@hotmail.com by noon on Monday 27 March with your food choice. If you are subsequently unable to attend for whatever reason it is your responsibility to please advise the Punchbowl Inn. 01306 627249

Further details including groups  start times and your  menu choices will be circulated on Tuesday morning.
