Godstone GC - Marsh Green - Reigate GC
Leader Ed shepherded his flock from N.C. to Godstone G.C. to refuel on toasted bacon sandwiches. He then took us the easy way up Tilburstow via Bletchingley, then via Crowhurst (where Simon responded to some road rage), past Haxted Mill to Edenbridge and on to our lunchtime watering hole, the Wheatsheaf at Marsh Green. Earlier, Ian had somehow become detached from the group when something had become detached from his bike.
However, his map reading skills ensured that he was waiting for us at the pub, which sported a good choice of food and drink, including some reasonably priced water. We sat outside, where Ian was accosted by some rambling club buddies and an Addiscombe CC lady with a broken elbow. Our meal was washed down with a light drizzle.
After lunch it was Westward'Ho to Lingfield, Newchapel, Smallfield, Salford and Lonesome Lane to Reigate G.C. Our tea drinking was disturbed only when we were invited to leave at closing time. Simon insisted on chasing me home up the A217, distracted only at Lower Kingswood by another motoring lunatic, who he decided to chase down at 40mph to express his disapproval. I watched from a distance and got home safely with 49 miles on the clock.
Our thanks to Ed for an artfully crafted ride which somehow managed to smooth out all the hills.
