B Group - June 4th

17 B Group cyclists led by Yours Truly set out from Cobham, going via Martyr's Green, Wisley Airfield, Elm Corner Wisley, Pyrford Lock, and Pyrford to Woking, where we avoided the Town Centre by taking to the towpath of the Basingstoke canal. We then passed through Horsell and Chobham to lunch at the Brickmakers pub at Windlesham. The service, the setting and the food were all excellent (N.B. - When trying out the route on Monday, I had met the chef and successfully persuaded him to add 3 varieties of jacket potato to today's menu - just for us).

Our afternoon route went thru' Virginia Water, Chertsey and Shepperton, to tea at the cafe in the Walled Garden in Lower Sunbury - a beautiful spot. From tea we cycled to Hampton Court, whence we dispersed homeward. On my way home, I noted that parts of the Thames towpath near Kingston were flooded. Those that started and finished at North Cheam did a total of almost 60 miles.
