A damp start so it was no surprise that we were but five (Bob, Dave, Robert, Simon and me) at the Vineries. Briefly we were joined by two Beers (who had other plans).
09/10 was Spoons Woking; seven weeks later we would be back. Dave's route had gone West so today's would go East to see the first of the M25/A3 "improvements" - the clear felling of swathes of trees ahead of next year's nesting season. Isle Of Wight, Downside, The Black Swan, Ockham Bites and the A3 footpath (of sorts) led us to the RHS footbridge where there are now clear views over to the airfield.
This signpost (left) was missing at Muddy Lane then came Pyrford's Lock and Common. In Maybury a first left under the railway led to lunch at 1230 after a dozen miles. Within 15 minutes Pam and Tony arrived having cycled from Addlestone so four was six. There's a new menu (read string of price rises).
After a leisurely but egg-less lunch our standard route (minor detour through Sheerwater's town centre redevelopment) brought us to Walton Bridge where we dispersed. The dark but dry skies had persisted until around 1500 by which time I was within a mile of home.
