My last led run I remember was dull and raining. On the 25th Feb 09 my run was dull and dry, the brightest parts of the day were the fuel stops with the banter and laughing, and the vast bright greenhouse at Denbies. From Hersham we headed to Whiteley Village a wrong turn too soon brought nearly all to a halt, Pete Mitchell took the main road and got ahead. Down Thru’ Cobham to Effingham Junction me trying to ring my brother awheel – no answer he appeared as we neared Bookham, a steady pace to here then a pull up Polesden Lacey – Bob Starey said cheerio. Regrouping at the Dorking Road after the climb and descent we headed for Pixham Lane – BAD MARKS- here by Mike Morley riding through the red traffic lights when the rest of us had stopped, this is not a good example by an experienced rider, especially as he was wearing a Kingston Phoenix top on a wayfarers run! . We pressed on up the hills steep now leaving Pete M, Brian Nixon, behind Pete B said he was’nt going to lunch I assume they went back to The Royal Oak we had passed earlier, apparently Brian Nixon suffered a puncture, we waited.
Lunch stop was partaken at The Six Bells in Newdigate the food and service good I thought . Grant, Geoff Pyke, Pete M, Frank C, Tony D’Italia, Julian, John G, Ed, Jeff Tollerman, Brian Greenwood (First Ride) please come out again, Vic, Mike Morley, John Barrett, & Will joined us for a drink and chat.
Out into the dull day again a route back through Brockham briefly seeing Brian Nixon & Pete B befor Denbies where Jen M eventually met us after several text messages between us, Mike M , Geoff said farewell. While chatting at tea Pete M pointed out the John Barrett was exceptionally well dressed for a club run sporting a shirt and tie!
At tea were Pete M, Myself, Tony, Ed, Brian G, Will, John B, & of course Jen.
Seven of us headed home via Leatherhead and Ashtead common to Horton Lane and home 55 miles for me.
