A ride Weds 26th July

We are heading south from Dorking to the Bax Castle near Southwater for lunch. There may be some hard surfaced ( too hard, I thought today) off road along the Downs Link if we are desparate to get to lunch in the shelter of the trees. Over Leith Hill - dont weigh yourself down with too much bread pudding at Dorking - and then an easy ride though we have to climb to Rusper on the way home.

After last weeks strike by the PF it seems the Rain God has me in his sights this week. The forecast for Wednesday seems to be changing by the hour - not usually for the better. There will be my original plan for the return and a Plan B which is basically to get back by the most direct route if the weather dictates, though you can always head to Horsham station. I anticipate tea will be in the warmth of Denbies.
