On the hottest day of the year so far, Henfold saw an allsorts of cyclists. I counted around 20 C&M, plus Downlanders, Addiscombe, Clarencourt and a handful of independents. Eventually Keith led 11 (Daphne, Ed, Emma, Graham, Irene, Jake, welcome back John M, Paul, Petes B and C, Terry) on an energetic and roundabout route via Capel, Jayes Park and Mole Street to Walliswood then north to the Polo Grounds and south to Rudgwick and the King's Head. Most sat outside though Ed lingered over the Sunday newspapers (or was it the barmaid?). For many thirst could only be quenched by second helpings so a leisurely lunch was enjoyed by those who took that option. The route back was simplicity itself: Oakwoodhill and Weare Street to Capel Church where cakes and the odd cup of tea were downed. Simon and Jen joined us and discussion turned to next year's Easter tour which is on March 23, the earliest date since 1818 and before clocks go back. Speak now if you've any suggestions.
