We will meet at the Woodham and New Haw Day Centre for Elevenses. Anyone coming by train should hop off at West Byfleet Station for the short ride to the day centre.
Lunch will be at The Drummond in Albury, over 2 hours but not quite 16 miles from Elevenses. We'll set out westward along the Basingstoke canal and the first 11 miles will be fairly flat and quite scenic, perhaps squishy in places, some off road. Then after Stoke Park, zig-zagging up into the hills before an exhilarating descent all the way to the pub. The road surface quality is variable during the ride. Namby-pamby slick tyres won't be ideal on some short muddy stretches but most of the ride is on very decent tarmac or canal path.

The Drummond manager has asked for us to pre-order our lunches. It is a gastro-pub so it is somewhat pricey especially for main dishes but I hope that everyone will be able to find something tasty.
This is their menu:
Please reply to this invitation by Monday lunchtime. This is essential for two reasons; Clive needs to advise numbers attending Elevenses to the Day Centre in New Haw and I need to give as much notice as possible to the pub regarding our lunch menu choices.
Afternoon tea will be either at Leatherhead, Lucio's or perhaps for a change, The Old Clunker in Dorking. The afternoon routes may vary at the whim of your leader.
We'll be running with just two teams with Team Mick probably setting out at 10:45 and Team Tim at 10:50 or 11:00.
It's a pretty nice route and we're looking forward to seeing you.
Tim and Mick
