Where is breakfast in Cranleigh and what time?

I think I'll come down nfrom Milton Keynes and might even try to get a group together, but it might be a bit too far for most...

[postie]

teethgrinder we will be using a cafe in the high st, there are two, we will be in one of them from 9-30 for breakfast.

[teethgrinder]

Cheers. I think I'll only go to Cranleigh if it's me on my own. I might try and get a bunch to ride down, but I doubt I'll have much luck. I think Cranleigh will be a bit too far for non Audax types.

Hi Postie,

I'd like to do this ride but...it is 2 days before we go on holiday and my mother-in-law is not doing so well so plans have a habit of changing of late notice.  Happy to chat tomorrow.  Isn't Phil Chinn up for this?

I'll be there with post-holiday slower-than-usual legs!

Tsk tsk.. you could just always say "No thank you, I have had quite enough to drink" and cover the top of your wine glass with your hand.

Hope this helps.

if we get rained out of caming in Pembrokeshire (which is highly likely considering the weather at the moment!!!) then i will be on for this

I've tried to imagine you, my dear mentor, doing this but have failed miserably.  So, to keep up the style of a Wednesday Evening Pompey Pub Ride, I'm going with the flow...

[postie]

only one week to go looking at the route its 47miles to were i plan to watch it, plan to watch the 9 laps followed by a vist to a pub with a telly to watch the finish

[Danu]

Do the orginal plans for this still stand or are we all going by car now

[postie]

no, still riding up cosham 6-30 or rowlands 7-00

[keeks]

ok will meet yous in Rowlands Castle , I don't that area well so suppose its the centre somewhere ?

[postie]

far end of the green by the cafe and shop.

If you're looking for somewhere to watch the finish, Denbies' vineyard (Dorking) is free entry, and allegedly will have big screen TV, beer, and bike Pr0n:

That's my plan for tomorrow. Though as I only live three miles from Box Hill, I won't be joining your ride.
