Here is my ride report for yesterday
From Shepperton, Bernard, Christine, Cliff, Harold, Nev, Robin, and John cycled the off-road path over the M3 onto the Laleham Road and then the river path to Staines; continuing through Egham and Englefield Green into Windsor Park at Bishops Gate. In the Park, we turned South, passing Cumberland Gate and the Guards Polo Ground. Just before Blacknest Gate, we turned East and cycled along the southern shore of Virginia Water, emerging at the Wheatsheaf on the A30. We took a scenic ride thru the Wentworth Estate, arriving for lunch at the Stag and Hounds on Wellington Avenue just after 1 p.m. Despite being right on the edge of the Wentworth Estate (which reportedly has the most expensive housing in the South-East outside Central London), the Hare and Hounds is a very basic, simple and reasonably priced establishment with all the cooking being done by the lady publican herself. For this reason we did have to wait a bit for our jacket potatoes, but when they did come, they were delicious.
After lunch we cycled, via Longcross Road, Almners Road and Ruxbury Road, into Chertsey, and through Shepperton to tea at Lower Sunbury.
