The small turnout rather spoilt another fine day; just four (Ed, Keith, Pete, Steve) showing up at North Cheam. They rode via Tadworth and Mugswell to Fanny’s where Graham and Terry joined them. The break was lengthy but noisy as the clay pigeons were flying down the hill. Eventually we set off through Redhill and Reigate to Leigh, then climbed past Charlwood Zoo (as was) before descending to the Gate at Ifield. The Downlanders were there in strength but soon departed whilst our numbers rose by two (Irene and Pam). During another long (3 pints) break, the ayes voted for Capel and so it was a very short journey to church tea and cakes in the afternoon. We left after an hour and went our separate ways in Leatherhead. Around 55 miles at very leisurely pace - perfect!
