'C' group report of ride by Lynda Albert was telling me at Cobham that he had a mishap on the way to 11's. A learner driver was going round the same roundabout as him, but wanted the 2nd exit, whereas Albert wanted the 3rd. Result being that Albert was knocked off his bike. Only minor scratches, so a lucky escape. I led 'C' group from the British Legion Hall. Fuzz, Bill, Roger, Beryl, John, Lisa, Jono, another Bill and Dennis part way. It seems Albert did start to come with us, only was stuck in traffic soon after leaving 11's. ( As I found out from a phone call later on in the ride). We headed for Blackhills along the old A3 and then through Arbrook Common. The autumn colours were lovely. We went thro' Claygate to Hook, Chessington and Green Lanes in Ewell. We went over the bridges in Bourne Hall park, which made an interesting twist to the ride before reaching The Green Man. Sonia, Susie and Harold joined us there for lunch. The food was good and reasonable, but we had a rather long wait. After lunch we went round the back roads to the Kings Day Centre in Chessington for afternoon tea and cakes. After a leisurely tea stop, Fuzz, Lisa and Jono made their way to Chessington South station. As Beryl unlocked her bike, she noticed her back wheel had a puncture. Luckily, Roger was there to save the day! Another good, dry day of cycling. I did notice that we needed lights before 4.30pm. Winter is coming.
