Ride Report - Sunday 16 January 2022

 


There were so many at elevenses at Stoke d'Abernon today I can barely remember all their names - Bob, Tony, David and Jennie J, Simon, Keith, Ed, Maureen, Lillian, Terry, Graham, Brian G, Carolyn and me spring to mind but I may have missed a few!    It wasn't a very nice morning and, once we finally managed to drag ourselves away from the comfort of Squires, Tony, David and Jennie, Simon, Graham, Terry, Lilian and me decided to limit our ambitions and head the relatively short distance to Epsom.  The best way I can describe our route is fairly direct but slightly roundabout,  just roundabout enough, I hope, to be able to convince ourselves we had had a bit of a ride!    David and Jennie retired at Leatherhead with puncture problems, and Maureen, Ed and Bob also rode to Epsom but by direct routes which definitely weren't roundabout, but they may still be convinced they had a bit of a ride too!

Wetherspoons at Epsom wasn't too crowded at all and we lingered over lunch.   By the time we left, sunshine had miraculously appeared.   Graham, Tony, Simon and headed off towards Hampton Court, the rest making their own ways home.

Thanks all for your company and thanks to Simon for back-marking.

A lovely ride Dave. Simon and I headed to Hampton court for tea but it was crowded, so we headed along the river to the Cricket club, formerly Thyme by the river and stopped for tea there.
