You are invited to our All Day Ride to RAF Kenley on Saturday.
You must pre-book, by e-mailing me at Paulandrewjames1949@yahoo.co.uk before Thursday midnight; with the stricter application of the Rule of Six, places will be limited by the number of leaders we can find (several are on holiday). You will be assigned to a group and allotted a departure time from Beddington Park.
The original idea was for a picnic lunch at Kenley Aerodrome but the winter has arrived to the plan is now as follows.
Departures will be from North Cheam at 9.30; those who meet there will ride to Beddington Park, where coffee and toilets are available at the Pavilion Cafe. Groups will depart from Beddington Park from around 10.30 and ride through the back streets of South Wallington and Purley before climbing Old Lodge Lane to RAF Kenley. After visiting the memorials, we will go to Caterham-on-the-Hill for lunch in the cafe there.
After lunch we will ride along the ridge and descend Farthing Down to Coulsdon before climbing Grove Avenue to Clock House and then riding through the woods and along the hilltop road to Banstead, where we will have coffee at Pistachio's and then split up to return either to Cheam or to Wallington.
This route, approved by the management, keeps climbing to the minimum, though both Old Lodge Lane and Grove Road are substantial hills.
