What a delight to start and finish the day in glorious sunshine!
I believe it was Andy who
counted 25 cyclists in Squires cafe at Stoke D'Abernon this morning -
but no! They were not all there to come on the C+M ride to Horsell!
We left Squires for Cobham passing the British Legion hall on the
way to Plough Lane en route for Ockam and Ripley. We waited for a short
while in Plough Lane for Graham whose chain had broken but was
instructed to continue before the job was finished! After
Ripley we stayed on the Olympic road race route past Newark Priory to
Maybury. Two of our group had dropped behind at this point but had said
they would see us at lunch, which they did!
The food was good and promptly served and we were back on the road
by 2pm. The group stayed together through Horsell, leading us onto the
canal towpath which was a delight in the afternoon sun! At West
Byfleet the group split with some going to Addlestone and onwards whilst
the rest of us continued to Lock Lane, Wisley and over the A3 to Ockham
Bites for tea.
It could have been the changing temperature or the hope of getting
home before it got too dark that eventually encouraged us to say
goodbye!!
Thank you Irene for being back marker to-day and thank you all for coming on to-days ride....Pam :) :)
