C Group May 28

Weather a bit `iffy` damp less cold and hardly any wind. We had a good turnout at Kingston with Roger leading us for lunch at The Weir pub. With all the deep puddles from the recent heavy rain we avoided the towpath and with Roger`s knowledge of his home ground and the back streets of Kingston, the first place I recognised was East Molesey. Present on the ride were Lynda, Beryl, Carol, Fuzz, Dave, John C., Bill H., Alan, Ron, Mark, Robin, Charles, Tom, Dennis and me; a goodly crowd of sixteen with Roger. We took a right down Walton Lane going left in the Walton direction then right at the next roundabout down to our lunch near the river. The pub has much improved with good service. Tea was to be taken at The Five at the Bridge cafe at Hampton Court so it was my second ride along the Hurst Road that day, returning after tea to retrace my way home by 4.30 with 32 miles showing on the handlebars and a goodly thirst.
