Invitation to a B Group ride on Wednesday 4th October

B Group will be riding from Cobham via some of our favourite hills, up and over to Shere, then up and over through Farley Heath and down to Bramley for lunch at The Jolly Farmer Ale House and Kitchen. The chaps running the pub, Chris and Steve, have asked that we pre-order our lunches although they would be able to cope with a small number who might prefer to check the specials board before deciding. These were the specials on the day of my recce:

Otherwise please choose from these menus:

We will ride in three groups and our two subleaders will be John A and Tim G, both of whom are seasoned leaders, both fresh from leading last week's rides down to East Grinstead. What tigers they are!

The route will be:

Just before lunch there will be a delightful section of easy off-road (non-tarmac) riding with one small tricky bit where we will need to dismount and walk. In the afternoon we will head up to the Pewley and Merrow Downs which will involve a short walk up a steep flinty track. Care will be needed on the rough paths across the open land on the downs.

Please study the menus and write to me to confirm that you will be riding with us and advise your food choices. If notifying me by WhatsApp please ensure that your message is private (07767 385 596). Start times from the British Legion will be between 10:30 and 11:00; let me know if you have any preference for an earlier or later start.

Tea will probably be at the Café Barbera in Stoke d'Abernon.

Morning: 16.5 miles

Afternoon: 16.8 miles

Looking forward to seeing you all

Tim C
