Sunday June 6 2021

I'd had a busy week with trips to Silchester and Kings Lynn and I'd forgotten the phone (backup map) so a KISS route it would have to be.

 I was second to arrive behind Dave who'd seen (actually written) the blog so knew the start was West Byfleet station not Bourne Valley. Others hadn't!

As darkening skies turned to rain Ann, Dave, Pam, Ray, Simon, Steve Terry, and the leader departed via the public toilets. Past Pyrford Green, Sends Marsh and Grove the A3 was reached with "Capes off" beside the Jacob's Well memorial.


The A320 was busy but not for long as we took the left turn onto Burdenshott Road and later Goose Rye Road to reach an equally unpleasant A322 at  Fox Corner. In Pirbright five headed for the White Hart whilst on the pond geese (Canada and Egyptian) and ducks (mallard) waited in vain for crumbs from the rest of us.  

Pam and Terry's views were sought for an off-road return to Fox Corner. After recent (Wednesday)  usage they were not keen so we returned the way we'd come. Worplesdon station lead on to Pile Hill, Jacobs Well and eventually Ripley where soaring temperatures forced a protracted stay in Pinnocks. Only 25 miles (and 55 door to door)

For the atendance record, after discounting the mysterious appearance in the report of three doppelgangers, I have identified an octet of riders for inclusion. I'm sure you will soon let me know if my double vision has once again deceived me.

For June 6th, all riders seem to have disappeared into a Golden Grill Triangle.

Like the absent 't' in attendance!
