From Jake:
Very windy day. Met Steve Hillier, Ed, Andrew, Paul Day at the start and rode into headwind. Realised Steve was on fixed wheel as we flew down Pebblecombe, but he passed me at the bottom ........no trouble.
Steve went ahead at Leigh and missed left turn. Luckily, he retraced and met Jeff whilst looking for Tesco's!
Pete Foster, Pete Beyer, Andy, Bob, Graham & Terry were there already.
Left turn into headwind up to Charlwood through to end of lane and right, then left down unsurfaced road (lots of potholes) past lovely ponds to Newdigate church. Then right, left to Capel over A24 to A29, left into a terrific headwind then right down sheltered lane to Walliswood then The Parrot at Forest Green.
Very crowded but found a table and were served very quickly. Unusually they had a butchers in the pub! (see pic).
Tail wind in rain all the way back to A29 then retrace to Newdigate, Pixham Lane.
Parted at Burford Bridge, Ed went to W'spoons. Steve, Grant and I looked inside as it was open day to see if hall OK for our club (KPRC) dinner.
It was mindblowing so we voted yes.
Steve said "who would of thought Jake, that 2 years from when we met we would be looking at wedding venues together!"
55 miles.
