Evening ride, Tuesday 19 May

Start: Godalming, Crown Court 19.00.

An easy ride of about 2hrs on lanes and good tracks, using the ‘Rhododendron Route’ that proved popular last year.

We’ll finish at a pub on the outskirts of Godalming. The forecast is for a dry evening after a showery day. See you there!

Sunday’s All-Day Intermediate ride 24th May

I regret to inform you that there will be no official West Surrey CTC All-Day Intermediate ride on Sunday 24 May.  Roger Philo was planning to lead this ride but is unfortunately in Yorkshire recovering from a broken hip.  As none of the other regular leaders for these rides is free to lead the ride that particular day, the official ride is cancelled.
This does not prevent any riders who still turn up for the advertised start time of 9.00am at Guildford Library from organising their own ad hoc ride on the day.
Normal service will be resumed in June!
