We set out from Dorking in bright sunshine. We being Carol, Liz, Stephanie, Terry, Cliff and yours truly. Norman's bottom bracket was painful so he called off as did Les who said his waterproof wasn't.
We went by undulating minor roads to Forest Green. By now we could hardly stand the heat but the Krugg at the Parrot cooled us down. We were all excited by tales of Cliff's bread-maker over lunch and we are all looking forward to his walnut bread which he promised next week.
Carol carelessly cycled over a piece of flint shortly after lunch, but we didn't mind because Terry mended it while the rest of us sun-bathed. However she was sharp-eyed enough to notice a tack in her other tyre which was 1mm in just waiting to get her.
The best moment of the day was Cliff being dislodged from his bike by a low-hanging bush and lying on his back imitating a two-year-old's tantrum!
Tea at the Vineyard where we met the A Group. They said that it was too hot for biking and so they had spent the entire day there.
Regards Bernard
