SUNDAY 15th DECEMBER 2019

Fabulous.....A dry and bright morning for today's planned ride from our elevenses venue, Squires at Hersham with lunch at Pashas in Chobham.  Four of the folks gathered around our table joined me on the ride, Vic, Ed, Terry and Graham, whilst Lena, Maureen, Lilian, Bob, Tony and Dave Vine stayed for awhile or left with us for their preferred destinations.    

We started by turning left on Burwood Road, right right onto Seven Hills Road.  Left, left again to pick up my usual route to Weybridge via Ellesmere and Gower Roads, Weybridge station, down the hill, Heath Road, turning left to go along the canal taking our usual route into Addlestone and New Haw - where we joined the Basingstoke canal to Woking.  Along Brewery Road, through Horsell to  Carthouse Lane where a right into Castle Grove Road took us into Chobham for lunch - arriving approximately 12.45. 

A table had been set for us, including crackers!  After spending sometime reminiscing and talking of current affairs which makes the time fly by - we were on our way at two o'clock after receiving good service and enjoyable food.

It was doubtful anybody would be stopping for tea albeit it was agreed to stop in Addlestone if a tea stop was required.  Terry left us and returned to Dorking via the route we had arrived in Chobham whilst the rest of us traversed the well used route to Addlestone by taking the road towards Fairoaks Airport then turning into Old Chertsey Road, Stonehill Road, Green Lane to Addlestone High Street.  Ed was keen to keep going in the hopes of getting home before dark, Graham also, so Vic and I continued to our respective homes!

Thank you guys for joining me - not a long ride - made up for with good company and a fine day with plenty of sunshine! 

Cheers, Happy Xmas - Pam :) :)
