Meet at 0845 for a 9am rideaway from Godalming Station. Uncertain of route at the moment because of the weather but either a ride up to the Devils Punch Bowl via Gibbet Hill (3.5-4hrs) or a blast around the well draining commons if heavy rain (3hrs).
The Details:
Meeting Place: Godalming railway station/Care for Health
Timing: Meet 0845 for 0900 departure
Duration: Medium or Long (2.5-4 hours)
Difficulty: Blue to reddish
Ascent: Plenty on the run up Gibbet Hill/Punch Bowl, not so much around the commons.
Tea Stop: Yes, if we make the Punch Bowl or may be on the other ride, but either way bring enough food and drink for the ride and way home
Average Speed/Pace Style: Brisk social pace if the group can manage
Distance: Approx 20/27 miles
Route: Gibbet Hill and Devils Punch Bowl or the Commons to the South East of Godalming
