After the blustery weather of yesterday it was great to see some sun and almost no wind at elevenses at The Eileen Tozer centre in Addlestone. Harold was leading with the intention of lunch at The Castle Grove Chobham.
We had a good turnout with Harold S., Bill, Fuzz, Dave, Roger, Mark, Dennis and me. We went along Church Road, over the motorway bridge then left up Ongar Hill. I was rather intrigued with Harold`s choice of route but somewhat dismayed when he turned left to the fast downhill at Rowtown to pass the Bourne Valley garden Centre after which a short but almost vertical climb arrives one in New Haw. We got on to Woodham Lane with a reasonable marked cyclepath, as far as the six crossroads near Woking. The traffic was not very heavy and we turned there towards Chobham. A pretty heavy shower meant a stop to cape-up, but a little way further on there appeared to have been no rain. We enjoyed a good lunch after which the intention was to have tea at Shepperton. Dave, Mark, Bill, Roger and Dennis took up my invite to come home for tea at my place. I made it just under 10 miles to lunch and six back via Stonehill Road. Thanks Harold, nice ride (unlike your goodself I had lots of gears!) ------------ Albert
