The weather was kind today as we met at Elleray Hall in Teddington. The main part of the hall is being refurbished so we made do with one of the side rooms. Our turnout was much better than of late and John C. led a large contingent up Middle Lane en route for The Prince of Wales pub at West End, Esher. There was Fuzz, Bill H., Dennis, Roger, Mark, Lynda, Beryl, Mick and Mary on tandem, Phil, Ron, Dave, the chap on the recumbent ( Lynda told me his name, but I`ve forgotten) and me. We arrived at Hampton Court via Bushy Park, crossed the bridge and joined the rather muddy towpath before turning left to join Walton Road at E. Molesey then W. Molesey before the left turn at Apps Court and then Terrace Road to Walton on Thames heading left to Hersham. At this point my front brake cable gave up the ghost. I bade the others farewell and made for the bike shop, luckily only about fifty yards away. Tea was to be at Claygate but I went home after the bike was fixed. I was sorry to miss out on such a good ride in great weather and on home ground. ----------------- Albert
