Midsummer Day didn't start well with rain from 6 to 8 but later on there was plenty of sunshine as compensation. There were nine at Weybridge (G, Dave, Ed, Lilian, Pam, Ray, Simon, Terry and Tony). Simon and Terry had other plans and Dave volunteered to be a distant back marker solving any grouping problems.
There was nothing elaborate about the route: Addlestone, Liberty Lane bridge and its new and much heightened anti-vandal fence, Brox Road. the A320 cyclepath to Woking and the canal to Pirbright. We paused at the McLaren sign so (1) Lilian could snap it (2) Tony could replace a lost shoe cleat and (3) I could search in vain for a (nonexistent according to OpenStreetMap) path into the Park. However two unsigned paths show promise.
To my horror Pirbright was a sea of humanity - a sight which was to be repeated elsewhere eg Woking Park and Gigs Hill Green. But the green is vast and was mostly dry and The Cricketers was doing good business but not from us. Dave left us when we headed south to Fox Corner, Mayford and the Leisure Centre where toilets were much appreciated. Finally Sheerwater, West Byfleet and past Vic's brought us back to our outward path where we went our separate ways. Just under 50 miles door to door.

Sounds like a good ride, somewhat disturbed by an unwelcome 'sea of humanity' and a bit of a covid time shift.
