Just nine of us at North Cheam this week; Cobham feels a long way at this time of year when it's a chilly grey morning. But we soon warmed up and enjoyed our route through Chessington, Hook and Claygate, setting what I thought was a fairly good pace.
So we were surprised to arrive at the RBL and find it deserted, as it was 11.10! Never mind, there was the usual friendly welcome from the lovely volunteers who serve our coffees, plus delicious shortbread and Chocolate Hobnobs! So no complaints...
Ray Wren arrived about 15 minutes later, hoping to join us for the ride to lunch. But we decided to go to the Woodman in Ashtead, this being closer to home for most of us in light of the weather. And Ray found his way to the Bear in Esher, to join the Bs instead, and stay within the limits of his battery.
The rest of us took the same route to Lower Ashtead as in January, and enjoyed the food and service an company as before. We headed home across Ashtead and Epsom Commons, taking Evelyn Way and following the railway to Epsom, then through the park as the most direct route back. A nice wintry day out, much needed; thanks all for your lovely company.
