18 riders set out from Leatherhead to travel to Wonersh. Poor Geoff Gregory is still suffering with dodgy knees and baled out at the A25 junction. I am sure we all hope he will repair soon and join us for full rides. Today was a hilly one however with 1366 ft of ascent in the morning and 873 ft in the afternoon. It was a pretty, quiet woodland exploration, followed by a little, thankfully dry Downs Link. We arrived at 12.45am at The Grantley Arms where we were cloistered in the old Bakery room. Possibly arranged so we wouldn't deter the locals.
After lunch I managed the spectacular feat of losing 15 riders in the group 50 metres from the pub. How was it possible? I'm a genius-not. Anyway I didn't lose Ged and we met up with the stray 15 at Blackheath Village. Ged took a picture of the peloton.
Finally we cycled back to Cobham via the noisy A3 cycle path and ten stayed for tea at Bronte's Cafe. Thanks to Simon for back marking and shepherding the flock and the unsung corner marker heroes.

One unsung corner marker must try harder - not to loose 15 riders again!
