Nine met at Buckland Squires for 11s but this became six after a few miles. We briefly headed west on the A25, soon turning south into Old Road. Sandy Lane led to Wonham Lane and the sight of many deer. Past Wonham Mill, now apparently expensive dwellings after years of neglect. We crossed the A217 into Lonesome Lane where the teddies watched our progress from their balcony. We rejoined the A217 to Povey Cross where we turned right towards Charlwood. Taking the Ifield Road we soon passed The Gate, our planned lunch stop but now closed and continued to The Lamb at Lambs Green. Here we dined well on child's portions which were quite adequate. After a leisurely break Terry, John G and a tub of flowers gave an impromptu demonstration of 'Domino Effect'.
A leisurely ride to Capel via the 'usual route' saw us arrive at the church at exactly 3pm - what timing ! After studying the vast display of cakes and goodies (some even purchased two!) the next most important thing was Dave's multi-bulging rear tyre. Hope you got home safely, Dave!
Overall a leisurely ride in dry, comfortable and frequently sunny conditions - how many more will we enjoy before winter ?
Terry
