An 'A' group of 11 (Pam, Vic, Ray, Ed, Steve C, John B, Frank C, Toni, Mike M, and Graham - led by Pete B) set off from Weybridge in blustery but dry conditions. With a helpful wind we sped past Gracious Pond and over Chobham Common to enter the glorious Windsor Great Park at Blackness Gate. Leaving via the Ranger's Gate, the track across to Spital put us in the back streets of Windsor near to our destination (Wetherspoon's of course). It was good to see that the service and beer selection had returned to normal since our last visit.
Intending a tour of the Berkshire byways, we were heading West when there was a loud crash and Pam and John were on the deck. Help was at hand as a delighful young female PC pulled up behind us and almost immediately an ambulance going the opposite way also came to our aid. Unfortunately though, Pam suffered a nasty cut to her head and had to be taken away for further treatment.
Leaving her bike in the hands of the constabulary, the remainder took a slightly curtailed route via Woodside back into the Park to stop at the rebuilt and revamped Saville Gardens. Prices may have been revamped as well but the Gardener's Tea (ie a mug) at £1.10 was quite acceptable. From there, with a generally favourable wind, each made their way home.
(Update from Pam: 13 stitches and a cracked pelvis but she hopes to be out of hospital in a couple of days. We all wish her well and hope she back on the bike soon).
