This was a 'lights on all day' (dull and misty) sort of day and a woolly hatted for the second half of the ride. Ed took the trade route to Fannie's then the obvious line past Merstham and landfill to a crowded Redhill Airport.
Seeking extra miles Ed selected NCN 21 much to the disgust of the mudguardless. Thankfully this experiment was abandoned in Horley town centre where we reversed direction for Leigh via The Fox Revived. The only incident of the day occurred was when my rear wheel pulled over on the last hillock. It created minor havoc as we were being stalked by Gatwick rush hour traffic. The bar though not the restaurant of The Plough was packed so lunch was alfresco at least until the smokers came in search of pleasure allowing us to swap places.
Surprisingly the way home was by Brockham and a greasy Coach Road. A brief debate outside Denbies provided a unaminous no vote so on we rode; after Leatherhead I was accompanied by light drizzle. Home by three is not something I normally report; under 50 miles.
