Banstead to Peaslake & back.
Today, we cycled in the beautiful Surrey Hills, which is just on our doorstep. We went past Epsom Downs, past Leith Hill near Dorking and finally arrived at our destination in Peaslake. I enjoyed hot chocolate and a pastie at the Village Store (which is Mecca for cyclists according to our cycling Leader, Tom). The warm weather reminded us of what the conditions will be like in France - hot! So after refreshments, we headed home. The bluebells, covering the ground near Leigh, completed the spring scenery! Glad to be home after 55 miles and almost 6 hours of cycling!
Distance covered: 55 miles
Duration: 6 hours
