Sorry Del and anyone else
, feel free to shout at me if it got a bit quick. I haven't been around there for months and with all the rain and roadside bushes growing like mad I missed the turning down Headley Rd as planned, doh!
Carried on for a bit and dropped down on to the A24 by a nice smooth descent, for a bit of a bash back to Ranmore. Up Ranmore and a couple said they were going to turn back after the descent to Dorking as they had to get back early. After the descent a regroup and a bit of confusion, I called off we go and saw people behind me and thought we were all as one, bar those going home, but as we rode along to the bottom of Coldharbour I noticed that we were now down to just Tony, Rich, Richard, Ben, Steve and myself. We eased up to the base and then climbed up to regroup at the top waiting for the others if they came.
No-one arrived for a bit and then Steve arrived, having waited further back, having waited for the rest but not seen them. He left a message for Katie that we'd see them at Henfold Lakes and we headed off for the nice drop down to Ockley. Good fun including a bit of saddle clenching by Rich as we went in to a tight wet bend but he held it up well.
A bit of a bash back to Beare Green and then through to Newdigate where Tony and Rich headed back to beat the clock via a CR reverse. Richard, Ben, Steve and myself stopped off at Henfold for a nice cake and tea/coffee/chocolate. Steve had now found out that the others had returned so we headed back via Box Hill.
First time I've been up Box Hill since the resurfacing, wow it is nice now, and then a fast charge back to Coulsdon.
Sorry to folk for the mix up. I had a very enjoyable ride with some nice blasting along after Coldharbour, a couple of hills, and some good fun chat and general piss-taking of each other. Thanks a lot guys.

decided to gently wind up the pace, which reached impressive levels as we came over Headley Heath, down to the Leatherhead by-pass and on down the A24 to Dorking.
