Shoreham Century Ride - 14 June

Our annual Shoreham Century ride will be on 14 June. The ride follows the traditional 'minimal hills' route devised by Mark Gladwyn, with elevenses at Tanhouse Farm, lunch at the Bridge Inn, Shoreham, tea at the Pavilions in the Park cafe, Horsham, and a welcome pint at the Edmund Tylney, Leatherhead for those completing the whole ride. The mileage is 73 from Tanhouse to Shoreham and back to Leatherhead, but your ride from home should hopefully hit the magic 100miles.

You may prefer to return by train from Shoreham, Horsham or Dorking all of which are on-route.

The ride is open to all A and B group riders, and there will be separate groups riding at A-pace (about 2 to 2 ½ hours Tanhouse to Shoreham) and B-pace (about 2 ½ to 3 hours Tanhouse to Shoreham). I aim for group size of 6 max to spread our arrival at the pub. Please state your A/B preference when booking.

To book your place please respond to me (d.vine207@btinternet.com) by 6pm on Monday 12th June. If you wish to ride at B-pace please also copy your response to John Austin who is coordinating the B-groups (johnaustin04@yahoo.co.uk) as well as me. Please do not book by WhatsApp.

Please state if you are planning to return by train, though this is not binding; we will be flexible. We will probably start some groups from Tanhouse at 10am (ie earlier than previous years) to get as many as possible to Shoreham as early as possible. Please let me know if that will not be convenient to anyone.

For those unfamiliar with Tanhouse Farm, I hope to arrange a led ride from the traditional start at North Cheam starting no later than 8am. Again, let me know in advance.

The Bridge Inn has reserved 5 'dining pods' on the terrace. This year there is no need to pre-book your lunch, but please look at the menu to see what is available.

I hope the weather stays fair and sunny for our annual trip to the seaside!
