Invitation to a B Group ride - 27th March

Christina, Stephen and I cordially invite you to a ride through the hills to The Three Horseshoes in Cranleigh. We will meet for Elevenses at The Queen Stage in Effingham. Please be there in good time to enjoy your refreshments.

This is our route, with just over 16 miles to lunch:

If you have the technology please load this into your phone or Garmin in order to assist your leader should any confusion about the route arise. This is a good practice on any ride.

For anyone who might have heard a horror story from Christina or myself, about a 5 mile slog through mud on the Down's Link Path, this section has been completely eliminated from the ride. There will however be other scenic woodland paths.

The highest mountain to be scaled will be our old favourite, Green Dene, although there will be other hills through the rest of the day. Some very minor roads too with a get-off-and-walk section to get us up onto Blackheath.

At The Three Horseshoes we will wheel our bikes down a narrow alley at the side of the pub, pass some wheelie bins, and park around the back.

13 miles after lunch will bring us to The Old Clunker Café in Dorking.

Our host Pete has asked if we could pre-order our food. Please study these menus and let me know by email what you'd like to order when you confirm your intention to join us. I need to know by Monday evening.

 

Looking forward to seeing you,

Tim C
