A bright and, thankfully, snow-free morning saw Bill S, Tony Hopkins, Graham, Pam, Vic, Terry and me meet at the Bourne Valley Garden Centre for elevenses. It was excellent to see Vic restored to cycling so quickly after his recent cataract op, and in fine fettle! All but Bill and Terry continued to lunch. I had changed the lunch venue to Staines Wetherspoons as the forecast threatened afternoon rain, so we took a shortish and not especially inspiring route, although there were a few short, sharp climbs designed to reactivate corpuscles torpid after the recent cold snap! It began to rain just as we reached our lunch stop where Ed joined us having ridden direct. The rain didn't amount to much in the end but it stayed overcast and threatening, so we lingered over lunch. When we did finally get going some headed direct to Upper Halliford for tea, while Vic and I peeled off at Laleham to follow the river homewards. Thanks to all for your company.
