Invitation to ride with B Group from New Haw on 27th May

Having led from New Haw in March I wanted to come up with something quite different for this Summer ride. So this time we'll start out along the canal again and after about 10 miles we'll climb up Trodds Lane to Newlands Corner for an off-road section along the Drove Road (North Downs Way).

Brenda, Mick and I are looking forward to leading you on this ride.

Elevenses will be at the Woodham and New Haw Day Centre and for anyone not wishing to ride to this distant Elevenses outpost there are good train services to West Byfleet.

Lunch will be at The Barley Mow in West Horsley, popular with many of us for its delicious Thai food. This is the lunch menu, with the more conventional pub fare listed on the second page.

Regular Pub Fare

After Lunch we'll head for Cobham and then some delightfully undulating off-road trails through the woodland in Esher and Arbrook Commons. We will visit Parade and Albany in Claygate for afternoon tea.

This will be our route:

NB For anyone who would prefer to avoid the scenic climb up to Newlands Corner, the North Downs Way track, and the undulations which follow I have an alternative route which turns after Jacobs Well from Clay Lane onto the A3 Cycle Path at mile 9.2 and runs to The Barley Mow via Ripley. If you would like to do the ride this way, on a self-led basis, please ask me for the route; you can ride with one of our groups as far as the A3. When you sign up for this ride please tell me that this is what you intend to do; I will need to include you in the numbers I advise to the pub.

Please confirm by email that you wish to join us and note the 'Plan B' option if that is what you think you'd like to do. We don't need to pre-order our food.

We're looking forward to sharing this delightful cycling experience with you.

Tim, Brenda and Mick
