You might be lucky to get up to Holmbury. Probably better to part in Westcott or somehwere near the A25 (clear) and ride up. More fun anyway.

JUst heard that most of the roads from Cranleigh are sheet ice. Pitch Hill has 3-4" of snow - so prob just about rideable.

Might be better waiting for Sunday when roads will have cleared and hopefully some snow will still be left.

I've been out in the car this morning from Abinger Common (2WD). Hollow Lane (goes from Wotton to Leith Hill) is passable but requires caution.

Went down to Holmbury last night - made it there and back ok, but probably wasn't sensible. Steep hills would not be on. Road through Holmbury is packed snow and also lined with parked cars. You also might have problems getting in and out of many of the car parks.

I'd probably advise parking somewhere like Gomshall station, but to be honest the snow is 12" deep and very powdery - not the best stuff to cycle in.
