We waited so long for the good weather of summer, now entering September I chose a riverside pub location in case we have a continuation of the hot weather. Well, the Onslow Arms is next to the River Lox. It is a wee compromise choice as the garden looks out the other way over the canal.
The ride will have some hills, these in the morning - Critten, Raikes Lane and Hoe Lane, and just one - the fairly well behaved Leith Hill Lane on the way back. After Hoe Lane we keep the height along the North Downs 'ridge' to enjoy the likes of Winterfold Heath Road.
Approaching Loxwood we take a detour along Pigbush Lane. With a name like that I had to explore, and it is a gem of a minor road / bridleway. Maybe we have ridden it before? I asked a few who said no. Lovely section and views anyway.
24 miles there, 24 miles back to Leatherhead. According to Komoot and Garmin its 2800 ft of climbing.

I have one sub-leader (thx Dave V.), it would be great if one other can volunteer to sub-lead a modest pace group - I found the route easy to navigate, and I have ride notes ready to share.
