From Snow to Sun to 2 Tea Stops in Godstone

It was all 'rides off', 'rides on', 'rides off' on Saturday morning. A freak dump of snow at 8am made a cancellation look likely but by 9am the temperature was rising quickly making for ride-able conditions. A small group of folk gathered at the Drome. We actually saw a departure with G2s leaving with G6s - first time that's happened for some years!

Those of us looking for an early return - five of us - headed off with Frank out towards Lingfield before turning left up Tandridge Lane all the way to Godstone. A short spell on the A25 saw us stop at the tea rooms... which were closed until Spring. 

Nothing quite so dispiriting as donning all your garb again and heading back out when your heart is saying tea and cake... but it was only a short hop to Knights near Bletchingley. Thence back to Outwood where we had taken our first photo to show our hardiness at 10am. Two hours later and all snow was gone and it was near tropical. Well sunny at least. 

A pleasant chatty bimble with thanks to Frank for leading and the good cheer.
