Sixteen (no Alan, no Bob) took a brief detour onto Wisley aerodrome(the word's not dead just yet!) then continued to Ripley. We were now on the Olympic road race course in reverse until a left at the Seven Stars. After heavily trafficed Send and Old Woking, relief came in the form of Westfield, Sutton Green and Jacob's Well. Escaping from the A320 as soon as possible, we re-approached it after a brief study of some of Guildford's social housing. Unexpectedly on Mothers' Day there was room at the Row Barge but it was only 1215; roast of the day (child or adult portion) being the choice. Forecast rain amounted to no more than a few drops during lunch so passed unnoticed by the ten non-members of the Sandwich Brigade.
Unusually alongside Stoke Park and through Burpham's estates got us to the A3 cycle path. After a right at Burnt Common and Hungry Hill, the surprise was the ascent of a rather greasy Green Lane West. After the Drift climb and the long drag to the Douglas Haig, there was the Vineries for our final stop. Home just after five and 50 modest miles.
