I had researched the route for today’s ride recently and had included some previously unused lanes near Bramley and even included the Downs Link to appease our off-roaders. But I had forgotten about the London to Brighton ride on that day so attendance was poor, just Barbara and Norman. Both attendees said they were only planning to do part of the route so I decided to do just a short morning ride. I’ll have to save the route for another year.
Off we set over the bypass, pass the smelly tip and on towards Capel. Right onto the A24 and next left, pass Ockley railway station and next left into Weare Street. It was then over the A29, through Okewoodhill and Rowhook. Re-crossing the A29 after a nice downhill, along the A281 for a short distance and left towards Warnham. Back to Horsham via Robin Hood Lane and the golf course.

This weeks ride is Pete's Mystery Ride - it's a mystery to Pete where he's going to take us, but with coverage of the England game starting at 14:00hrs, I'm guessing it will have finished by then! The start is 09:30 at Horsham Park Pavilions and the weather is going to be smashing! On friday night, Pete S, Anton and Bob are going to try their hand at a "Friday Night Ride to the Coast". This starts at midnight from Hyde Park Corner and finishes at Bognor Regis in the morning with a refreshment stop at the Cabin by the Faygate roundabout sometime in the wee small hours. I'll post a report when it's done.
