Our ride from Caterham will take us to the far east of our touring area on lanes less travelled (at least by Wayfarers) to Crockenhill, via the Darent valley lavender fields.
Start is at the Westway Community Café on Chaldon Rd. On recent visits they have operated a voluntary donation for refreshments and snacks rather than a fixed price. Can I ask you to bring change, and a minimum donation of £2. Last time I’m told we raised £74, quite appropriate given that the Westway was the first day centre to welcome us after Lockdown, and we really want them to continue.
Lunch will be at The Chequers in Crockenhill, last visited, by C&M in 2014, made notable by being the first ride by a youthful-looking Neil Crocker. Not to mention CAMRA approval. About 23 miles.
The Chequers have asked us to pre-order food, and their menu can be seen here.
Tea will be at Oaks Park, or Banstead if you prefer, at about 26 miles.
Inevitably there will be hills; as a guide, about the same climbing as last Wednesday’s visit to the far west. Also, you may have noticed that last Sunday C&M visited the area. Wednesday’s route will be longer but more rural.
I hope you can join me. Please email your
lunch orders to d.vine207@btinternet.com
by Monday evening. Thanks.
