Sunday's ride will be from Clandon Park Garden Centre as published, heading to Shalford for lunch. We initially head towards Guildford on busy main roads (with cycle lane) before turning off towards Blackheath, then with two short climbs under our belt, our route gives way to a couple of undulations before becoming flat. The country lanes are delightful and not too pot-holey, but there will be some central sand / gravel to be avoided and a mile of off-road on one of our favourite disused railway lines.
It's likely to be a late lunch at The Snooty Fox, Shalford. Other options here include the Village Store which sells pre-packaged sandwiches, hot and cold drinks or bring your own and sit on the green.
After lunch we'll use an off-road route into Guildford (a bit more Downs Link / NCN22) and then pick up the canal path for a couple of miles. Tea will be at Pinnock's Ripley or Gail's Cobham, depending on how we are getting on. So a total of 29 miles or 34.5 miles. GPX available on request.
I will be heading to Clandon via Epsom, Ashtead, Leatherhead and Effingham - please WhatsApp me if you would like to meet en route.
The current weather forecast is looking good, not too hot or cold or wet or windy.
I do hope you can join me - please message if any questions.
Thanks
Diane
