C Group March 26

Roger led a group of ten from Hersham in sunshine and somewhat milder weather than of late. There was Mark, Bill, Ron, Phil, John C., Beryl, Fuzz, Dennis and me. We stayed on Queens Road which was closed to through traffic at the Hersham end and arriving at Weybridge we turned left along St.Georges Avenue to Brooklands Road. Our intended venue was to be The Half Moon at Ripley so at the second roundabout we turned right through the Brooklands estate until joining Parvis Road to West Byfleet over the M25 with a short detour left on Highfield Road to bypass the traffic lights. All plain sailing after this. Along Pyrford Road then Warren Lane at the end of which theres a dodgy left turn which happily proved traffic-free, with just a couple of miles to go. The beer and food are always good at The Half Moon and today was no exception.. Tea was to be at Claygate but I made for home via Wisley, The Sanway (offroad and rather muddy) and Old Byfleet. There was a pretty heavy shower while we were at lunch which eased off later. I clocked just over 23 miles which is close to my limit, I guess. I enjoyed the ride, thanks Roger------------Albert
