The ride was held on, if not the shortest day of the year, it was the shortest Wednesday. I therefore decided to have a ride to the pub that was slightly long for the time of year and then give everyone the option to either stay for lunch or not and return from the pub as and when they wished.
We set off in two groups, the first lead by Hans, the second by myself.
The overall route was familiar to most, Bushy Park, Epsom, Brockham and into Leigh, it could be described as undulating, up Chalk Lane and Hurst Lane, down Pebble Hill Road. The first group arrived for lunch right on schedule and the second just before 13.00 hours.
As usual the pub were quick and efficient in getting orders out, and a planned and orderly departure was had by everyone bar one, staying for additional food and drink, by 14.00 hours.
A smaller group of seven subsequently made their way to Leatherhead by the quickest route and just as the dark was closing in said Merry Christmas and a goodbye outside the Theatre.
Many thanks, especially to Hans for leading the first group, and to those in the groups who marked corners and back marked.
Thank you everyone for all your great company.
