Reigate Hill to Bocketts Farm

Sixteen riders turned out for the ride to Bockets Farm led by Sue and Barrie, two new riders Andy and Luke joined us for the first time.

Sue,looking slim and fit in her new cycling outfit (Dorothy Perkins at Finches’ £34-99) set off at a cracking pace downhill to Gatton Bottom across the road and up the hill under the motorway to Crossways Farm,from there we cycled to Banstead Heath via Mugswell (some time ago a wit painted out the mug part of the sign so it said swell)

Headley and Mickleham were put behind us at a rapid pace,(I think Sue had three Shredded Wheat that morning) Somewhere near Mickleham Adam’s chain broke delaying both him and Barrie the back marker,we also managed to lose Peter at this point as well.However after waiting for a short time we set off,Barrie and Adam catching us a short way along the route,Peter also called the group to say he was now ahead of us at Bockets Fm.

Sue put a final climb over Fetcham Downs to get us to Bockets.

After the usual tea and cake plus group pic we took the straight route back to Reigate arriving about 1pm.
