I arrived at 11's just behind Graham and
Alan. No Dave, he had said prior that he had other commitments (MD).
In dribs and drabs the throng swelled
to a good number but not all were going to continue on the ride.
Graham, Ed, Lillian, Pam, Vic Tony to lunch. David Vine,Terry, Bob,
Richard, Don, Maureen, Bill to 11's
I had planned a nice 27 miles route to
lunch with only on real hill, Callow Hill, somewhere at this point
Richard took his leave, and the nice decent of Crimp Hill, then on
through Windsor to Fifield and up through Braywick park. As we got
into Maidenhead, around 22 miles, there was a group decision to
change the lunch venue to the Bear pub.
As usual with Wetherspoons the service
and food were quick and good. Setting off and onto a short stretch of
the Jubilee river and into a headwind across Dorney common. On
reaching Datchet Ed and Lillian decided to take the train from here.
We carried on heading towards Horton,
Pam and I opted for 3's at Liquid Leisure but Graham and Vic headed
off home. On leaving 3's Pam turned for Wraysbury and I continued
East. At Cranford the rain started so a brief stop to don water
proofs, it turned out to be a light shower and I got home virtually
dry. Nice ride without full winter kit. We had occasional sunshine, a
pleasant day on the bike.
Tony..
