Today's rendezvous was Tescos at Hookwood where I was greeted with a puncture. After replacing the tube I headed upstairs to join the shortish queue in the cafe. No Bob and no papers either so I waited patiently for Steve, Grant, Ed, Pete, Daphne and Keith to appear followed shortly by Graham on his recent respray job (a blue Wester Ross).
Not a day to hang around (a very cold NE) but hang around we did after Pete suffered a puncture after 0 miles.
When we got going it was gone 12 but Steve still keen on Lingfield pushed on in bright sunshine.
The Hare and Hounds was crowded with diners, leaving late arrivals standing, or worse, outside in the smokers area.
I never caught sight of any food, everybody appeared to be finished so it wasn't long before tables became vacant. A short sit down in a comfy chair before we were moved on in preference of more diners.
Tea was taken by Steve, Ed and myself at a spacious (& empty) W'spoons at Redhill.
Wray Lane, A217, Tadworth, the Downs and home.
Daytime temperature with windchill..............-6 degrees (metcheck).
