Midweek Wayfarers B ride 6 August from Cobham. 

Our ride from Cobham this week will be a repeat of Dave F’s on/off road route to Puttenham which was billed last month as an A/B ride. Having enjoyed riding it then and with a generous amount of off road I felt it would make a very nice B group ride this month! 41 miles in total, lunch being pretty much halfway. After the B’s hilly sojourn to Kent last week it will be a doddle! Link to the GPS route below. 



We will be taking it at an enjoyable pace (Christina and Paula are subs) and road bikes should cope with the surfaces. (See Dave’s comments from last month below -
 “The route includes two sections of hardpacked or gravel woodland trails, all of which have been ridden on previous group rides.

 After an initial slog up  Ranmore via Chalk lane and Green Dene, we cut “traffic free” from Staple Lane across to Guildford Pewsley Down via Newland’s corner. I have done this often on 32mm road tyres with no problems. From Pewsley to lunch its tarmac and a couple more hills (Farncombe and Puttenham common).)

I believe all of the paths will be familiar to B group riders too.

On our recce the views across the rolling Surrey countryside were breathtaking!  Our lunch will be at The Good Intent in Puttenham. 
The pub requires pre-ordering and there is a link to the menus below.  

The afternoon also involves some off road but is mostly on familiar roads back to Cobham for tea. 

Please let me know if you wish to join this ride and what your lunch choice is by 4pm Monday 4 August.
