Sunday 2nd March 2008
Compared with last's week ride to the same 11s, Pete lead us (Andrew, Daphne, Ed, Graham, Jake, Keith, Roger, Stephanie) on a gentler route through Sutton, Wallington, and Purley. In Riddlesdown Andrew punctured, and next we climbed to Warlingham and the main road to Botley Hill. After the break in Westerham, Andrew and Stephanie headed for home but our numbers were restored by the appearance of Ian (back from a wet Lake District) and KPRC Steve. On the now familiar road by Chartwell, RR1911 (the number says it all!) passed us. After Four Elms, we branched off to Hever and Markbeech arriving in Cowden around one. The chalkboard read "No food including sandwiches unless pre-booked" so after a brief discussion we continued to Dormans Land where the Old House At Home satisfied our stomachs. Crowhurst and Tilburstow Hill lead on to Bletchingley and after the usual off-road section, we divided in Merstham. Another long day: 75+ miles and no tea.
