80% of today's ride at The Sussex Oak
Fortunately today's forecast was good, roads had mostly dried out from yesterday giving fine, if rather cool riding conditions. After leaving Jordan's caravans and noting the extensive (and expensive?) new footbridge at Gomshall station we briefly headed west on the A25 before turning left into Goose Green. Peaslake was soon reached via Burrows Lane, Jesses Lane and Pond Lane. A pleasant run then to Ewhurst via Ewhurst and Peaslake Roads, then south eastish to Rowhook, crossing the A29 onto the one-way stretch of Rowhook Road. This led to the A281 which we left at the first opportunity, turning into Strood Lane and shortly arriving at Warnham.
Catering at The Sussex Oak was up to its usual high standard, and after a very leisurely lunch we followed the 'usual' route to Capel, noting the former café at Langhurstwood Road has been replaced by Max's Diner (ie Jo Jo's is now a no no). The choice of cakes at Capel, as usual, was huge - it's always difficult making a decision there. After another leisurely break we headed home, having enjoyed mostly quiet roads, pleasant scenery and good company. Thanks all.
