Henfold - Oakwoodhill - North Holmwood
Breakfast at Henfold Lake
Lunch at Oakwoodhill
Tea at North Holmwood
The planned ride to Wisborough Green was somewhat dislocated by the London - Surrey pre-olympic road race. Andy led Ed and Richard to spectate from the middle of the A24 near Dorking, while Peter and I chose to ride straight to Henfold for a leisurely breakfast. Very leisurely. By the time Andy's group arrived at the Lake, the appetite for Wisborough Green was clearly very blunted. Delay had been anticipated; however, discussion soon led to plan B (The Haven) morphing into plan C (Rudgwick) and finally plan D (Oakwoodhill). We therefore made our way via Weare Street to lunch at the Punchbowl, where Andy even bought a sandwich!
We lingered long over lunch before, on a majority vote, deciding to head for tea at North Holmwood. By the time we reached Mole Street, Richard the Dissenter had forked off to follow his own inclinations. The rest of us made our way to the church of St John the Evangelist, where we met that long-lost soul Keith taking tea and cake in the company of his mountain bike. Here, we soaked up the sunshine, before reluctantly setting course for home, or in Andy's case, for filial duties in Dorking.
The cyclometer recorded 45 miles, though calorie input very seriously exceeded calorie output. But who is counting?

Well done Jeff at last a 2 point lead!
If you had gone via Leith Hill from Henfold Lakes to The Punchbowl, then that would have helped balance up the calorie count or you could have had more cakes at St John's for the same ratio. Which would have been preferable, I wonder?
