“A” Group Report Wed 2nd April Frank Cubis
15 left Cobham at 11-10 for an advertised briskish ride to Godalming, the group included John S, Steve, John D B, Geff, Pete, Grant, Editor Mike, Ray, Vic, Toni, Frank H, Rob, Neil & Ed.
All went well through Pointers Green, Martyr’s Green, Ockham, to Burnt Common, but riding along the shared cycle and pedestrian path towards Clay Lane near Burpham Vic took a nasty tumble which resulted in a head wound. An ambulance was called and attended, fortunately it wasn’t a hospital visit as he was treated by the medics in the vehicle and they allowed him to continue (but I think reluctantly). His bike was undamaged and he wisely called it a day and with thanks to Ray Dare as chaperone rode home. I phoned when home and they had had lunch on the way and rode home with no ill effects.
By this time of course I abandoned my original route to Wyke, Wanborough and over the Hog’s Back to Puttenham then dropping down to Godalming. I chose the more direct route through Guildford along the Old Portsmouth Road direct to Wetherspoons. The service was good, as usual. Then it was the same route back to Ripley and on to Ockham Bites for 2-45’s, by now the drizzle had started in earnest and after refreshments bade my farewell, although the drizzle did stop by Esher. My total mileage 69 miles.
Grant was todays puncture victim.
