Invitation to a B Group ride on 4th February

You are cordially invited to join our ride from Cobham to Ashtead where we will dine at The Woodman in Barnett Wood Lane.

This pub is a very popular and hectic place so they have asked us to pre-order our lunches. Please make your selection from their vast menu and let me know what you've chosen.

For those of you who are fearing that a ride from Cobham to Ashtead must be a very brief and flat affair, devoid of any undulations I need to inform you that this route was planned by Paul James. There will therefore be two mountains before lunch which will include some steep and technically challenging sections in High Barn Lane, one of those hills we all love. And our brakes will need to be in sound working order, especially for the Ranmore Road descent into Dorking where there is some risk of becoming airborne if we go too fast.

This is Paul's route:

Your highly experienced leaders will be John A and Tim G, and I will lead a third team. Start times are expected to be 10:30, 10:40 and 10:50.

For parking ride towards the rear car park then lock your bikes at the back of the pub in a courtyard between the pub and the garden dining area. Take care not to block access to the rear door from the car park.

We are going to be sitting at tables in a large room allocated to us so that the staff will be able to find us.

Please confirm that you will be coming and advise me what you'd like for lunch. I need this by lunchtime on Monday please.
