Sunday January 24 2010

Not cold, not wet, not windy so a good day for a January ride.

From the North Cheam start, we took a Wayfarers' way through Tolworth, Long Ditton, Hersham to Walton where Ray caught us on the bridge. Two tables were full when we arrived at Notcutts Laleham so on the restart an original three had become ten. Wraysbury was before Datchet where the level crossings were closed so the playing fields of Eton and the College itself were revisited. A trundle west on NCN 4 led past the old YHA hostel to the Swan Clewer where our motley crew quadupled the customers(excluding a mutt). Whilst most sampled the only thing on offer, a stewy soup and roll, I went in search of a late abode of Michael Caine and Jimmy Page at the end of Mill Lane.

After a short reverse NCN 4 (watery in places) led up into the Park and out at Bishopsgate. Virginia Water, Lyne and down the hill delivered us to Tesco Addlestone where after refreshment we separated. No mileage - flat batteries!
