Sunday Ride 24 January 2010 Cheam, Croydon, Tully's Farm

Andrew Adams, Bob Green, Dave Brentnall, Paul Kelly, Trevor Hughes and guest riders Keith and Jake left Cheam station at 9 o’clock to rendezvous with Ev Quistorff at The Swan & Sugar Loaf in Croydon. From there we were led through Selsdon, Farley and over the downs. Through the country lanes and riding to an altitude of nearly 900 feet before descending to Titsey. Then on to Limpsfield, Lingfield, East Grinstead, Crawley Down to Tully’s Farm Rowfant. Jake had to ride her mountain bike as her road bike had a puncture but she did very well to ride to Tully’s farm up the numerous hills. At Tully’s Farm the service was slow and we were sitting outside as there was limited space inside and it was therefore cold. Perhaps better on a warm day! The return route was through Smallfield, Outwood, Merstham and Purley where Dave, Paul, Keith and Trevor stopped with the usual consequences! Approx 60 miles with 2000 feet of climbing.
