It was a lovely sunny start to the day and we tempted to sit outside at Squires Garden Centre, Upper Halliford, our elevenses venue, but decided it was probably still just a little too cold! Simon, Pam, Keith, Ray, Robert and I set off for lunch, Tony joining us for part of the way, while Bob made his own way home.
Today was really all about the 'lunch' at the brewery tap of The Big Smoke Brewery, Esher, but we did a token ride of a totally unnecessary 13 miles to get there, zig-zagging round various lesser-known paths, alleys, private roads and other backwaters in Sunbury, Shepperton, Weybridge, Walton and Hersham.
At the Big Smoke we sampled various unusual comestibles, some of which weren't actually even liquid in nature! A portion of chips presented particularly good value. This time we did sit outside but our original suspicions were confirmed - it was far too cold!
Thanks all, and I hope you were suitably mystified by the ride! I throw down the gauntlet - what about a ride around the hidden corners of Richmond, or Runnymede, or even Sutton!
