SUNDAY 15th JULY 2018
Twelve guys
and gals met at the Garden Centre - David and Alan who didn't join the
ride and Bob who took his own route to lunch, Graham, Simon, Vic, Terry,
Ray, Paul, Rachel and Ged, plus myself!
We made our way to the
Basingstoke canal by an off road route very close to the garden centre.
Wonderful shade all the way to the A332, Bagshot Road. An enjoyable
gradient down to Pirbright along Cemetery Pales, along the A324 turning
into Cobbett Hill Road to the T. a left and right, up the hill and into
The Royal Oak for lunch where we sat at a well shaded table for lunch.
Bob
joined us very soon after our arrival, Ged left us straight after lunch
to get back to watch footie whilst the rest of us took our time getting
back onto the road......it was very hot!! Bob made his own way home,
hence rather less people in the 'after lunch' photo.
Very soon
after leaving the pub we turned right onto part of the Christmas Pie
Trail leading us to Applegarth Avenue. From this estate we cycled into
the grounds of Guildford University, exiting onto Walnut Tree Close.
Then through a gap between buildings, almost opposite Guildford station,
over the river Wey, past the Crown Court, weaving our way to enter
Stoke Park off Nightingale Road.
Leaving the park we crossed the
A25, past Spectrum Leisure Complex, under the M3 to join the trail along
The Wey which led us to the path along side the A3 to Ripley where we
all stopped for tea at Pinnocks.
My thanks to back marker Graham and to all for joining me on such a hot day; plus a day full of sporting events!!
Happy cycling, Pam :) :)
