11's at this new Waitrose in Dorking ticked all the boxes,especially for "MyWaitrose" card holders.........did you know you can pay 20p and upgrade to a large drink?
I decided the climb to Coldharbour was worth the effort so we could use the delightful Mole Street to Walliswood.
Pleasant lanes brought us to the A281,a busy road that links Horsham with Guildford.
Past "Stooks" cafe at Newbridge Garden Centre where a considerable number of new housing and roads was evident.
The Red Lyon at Slinfold was reached at 13.02.
We all dined outside in the sunny but breezy conditions.
On the return,the ride split at Ellens Green with Graham's crowd heading back to Dorking via Henfold (tea) and I led to Ewhurst where Ken left us at Moon Hall road and we turned right past the Duke of Kent school to avoid a significant climb.
Before long Janice & myself had gone through Peaslake and we took tea at Gomshall (Tillings) before the climb home.
Home just after 5pm.
Cloudless skies and a moderate southwesterly which blew us home in record time.........Gomshall to Epsom in an hour!
STOP PRESS:Redhill Aerodrome cafe maybe no more...........

Just a reminder that this Saturday (18th) is the Ripley Jumble.

Chef on the Road is no more, but there is an alternative - Pilot's Hub - which is quite new and very good - Wayfarers stopped there on 15 April. It's easy to find - follow the black and white signs.
