Note that elevenses will not be at the Yvonne Arnaud which is being refurbished. We meet on the other side of the river in the Open Grounds cafe at the Baptist Church in Millmead. More details in the ride instructions but here is the link:
This is almost a rerun of a ride I did in 2018 to the Red Lion at Fernhurst - a village south of Haslemere. Our outward route takes us out through country lanes to join the (surfaced) cycle way over Hindhead much of which was the old A3. From here we head south, to the west of Haslemere to Fernhurst for lunch. The return takes us back to the Snooty Fox at Shalford for tea via Vann Lane and Hambledon. There is plenty of shade on the ride if it's a hot day.
Although the highest point is similar in altitude to Blackdown the gradients are much gentler. Overall about 44 miles and 2800 ft of ascent.
We need to pre-order - menu attached. I have avoided the initial request for a deposit but will feel it necessary to phone the landlord on Monday evening if numbers look as if they will exceed 18. So please don't leave it till the last minute to book your place.
Email me by 5pm Monday at the absolute latest as I am out on Monday evening.
