Good turnout at Cobham. Weather overcast but dry and rather warm with no wind.. Mike W. led about twelve of us for lunch at The Saddlers Arms at Send. I counted three ladies; Lynda,Beryl and Mary with Mike on their tandem.. Then came Ron, Roger, Mark, Bill, Dave, Tom, John C. and me . At the highest point of Plough Lane we all went offroad to the right. (a first for me.). It was downhill but a pretty good surface After a spot of tarmac we arrived on the cyclepath alongside the A3,then over the footbridge near Wisley eventually arriving near Pyrford Lock where we joined the towpath by the Wey Navigation canal and crossing over to ride towards Ripley. This is a pretty rough stretch especially near the end. We took a footpath just before the village to bring us to Newark Lane. Those who had brought their own lunch stayed in Ripley. The rest of us pressed on to turn down Polesden Lane to get a pint and lunch. Tea was to be at Cobham but once more I made for home after a very good ride and thankfull to the medicos who gave my pacemaker a tweak last week!----------------------------------------Albert
