Thirteen of us left Nonsuch Park to cycle up over Epsom Downs to Walton on the Hill, where we enjoyed a welcome coffee. Turning left out of the cafe we made our perilous descent of Pebblecombe Hill, where there were no takers of my offer for anyone who wanted to to overtake me!

 Over the Dorking Road and onto Brockham, where Susie joined us. The ride continued via Wheelers Lane through Leigh, left at Deanoak Lane, left at T junction to the Three Horseshoes Pub. Angie who used to lead this ride every Year, joined us for lunch which was served quite quickly despite being a bit slow taking the orders, lunch was good and enjoyed outside in the sun.

   The return ride was continued along Irons Bottom and Horse Hill, crossing the A217, left at Green Meath Road, right into Sandcross Lane, left into Slipshatch Road and right into Brockham, via the Old Coach Road over the golf course for a welcome tea at Leatherhead.

Thanks for all who came and your company and a big thank you for our back marker John Bellamy who must have been eager to overtake us on his new bike. I clocked 47 miles average speed 10.8mph.
