A good sign-up for the ride, and the weather was good, sunny but windy. 3 groups, with myself leading 1 group and Julie and Arwyn subleading the other 2.
New Haw is a long trek for some, so my route did a loop round to lunch at the Anchor at Great Bookham, don't know the name came from; there are no ships for miles. We/I have not used the pub in many a year; that will change as the food and service were first-class. It was great sitting in the sun in the front garden.
We headed directly to West Byfleet, Send, and then Tithebarns Lane to and along the concrete road, which has gotten worse in places, before joining the Ripley Lane to West Horsley and then taking East Lane to the Drift, Effingham, and onto lunch.
We were early, so hunger satisfied, we set off in groups, with some heading home from lunch and a few departing the ride along the way. About 9 or 10 made it to tea.
A lovely day on the bike with a good crowd. Thank you sub-leaders and back markers.
