What a buzzing throng greeted founder member Bill Stead as he made a rare appearance, looking great, at Cobham yesterday. We also welcomed several visitors, including Pete's crew Owen, keeping up the Barnard family tradition. I had to break in to the jollity to announce that a mooted change of venue next week (12Apr06) is off and that 'C' group should meet at Hersham as programmed.
You may be encouraged that our early birds 21Jun06 ride will be less ambitious than suggested, a more modest 70 miles being preferred by most would-be participants, so note the early start in your diary.
Bob Lees from Florida has spotted BBC's "Test the Nation" search for a team of 40 cyclists to take part in their 28May06 live show. If you are interested, ask me for details straightaway.
I shall be visiting Budapest, Vienna and Salzburg bikeless with Saga and as a consequence no Wayfarers News emails will be circulated until 27Apr06. By visiting http://midweekwayfarers.blogspot.com/ you can continue to keep in touch. Leaders reports for 12th and 19th April should be addressed to Pete Mitchell (pete@kprc.org.uk) for Pete to paste directly on our web log, for everyone to see.
Another link, http://www.halfpricetraintickets.co.uk/downloadvoucher.asp offers 50% off SW Trains journeys. I have downloaded a voucher for travel between Surbiton and Fleet on 24May06 for our train-assisted venture with Vic to Silchester. Trains outward leave Surbiton at 09:00 and 09:30 but their capacity for taking bikes remains unclear.
Yesterday, 'A' group was 21 strong, including a record five lady riders, when Ed led us off from Cobham, but leaving tarmac meant we lost visitor Gino early on and Norman when we caught up with 'B' group. Our route was similar to that taken by Mike and 'B' group as far as Park Lane Reigate, where we headed east past Wanham, Flanchford Mill, Woodhatch and Meadvale to Redhill, The Swan providing an excellent lunch venue. Some made their separate ways home whilst the main group, still 14 strong, repaired to Denbies for tea. Thanks, Ed, for a fine outing in the sun and for my tea. Brian
