A Group Sept 3rd

Mid Week Report A Group Frank Cubis 3rd Sept I should know by now, not to take the weather forecast as gospel, what should have been a showery day turned out beautiful. There was no rush from the British Legion at Cobham as I had planned a mere 15 mile ride to Sunningdale for lunch due to the forecast. We headed west up Pains Hill and the not very pleasant Byfleet Road. With the Olympics fresh in the memory of myself, we had an 18 man team pursuit along the A245 comprising of Grant, Tony d, Ed, Pete M, Pete B, Pam, David, Julian, Will, Vic, Bob, John B, Neil, John S, Ray and Don, all the way to Chobam, where a little hic-up found us heading for Castle Green, a quick chat with Vic, a u-turn, and on our way again along the Windsor Road, a short detour up Steep Hill and Valley Road brought us to Chobham Road, down to the A30 at Sunningdale, a left and right into Broomhall Lane and the High Street to lunch at The Nags Head, although there were now 17 in number we were warmly welcomed and can recommend the food, Mike Morley met up with us there after having spent a few hours with toilet problems, (not him personally, but the little room) After a leisurely lunch it was back on the bikes, along London Road & Blacknest Road to the A30 at Virginia Lodge, left and right along the B389, then left into Stroude Lane to Thorpe Lea and Staines to the precinct and the Bakers Oven were they serve the best iced buns in Surrey. From there members rode in different directions home, and I, a mere 56 miles.
