A nice stretch of the legs or maybe a graduation from flat ride. Your choice! This ride climbs twice. Gradually up from Cobham to Effingham and then steeper up Beech Avenue/Critten Lane to Ranmore Common Road. Descend down to Westhumble. Cross the A24 and attack Box Hill Zig-Zag. Coffee at the cafe and head home. […]
