Easy Riders April 22nd

The Dodds Bridge Gang

What a glorious Wednesday, thanks to Beryl, Liza, Linda, Bill, Harold, Dennis and Roger. We turned left after crossing the canal and had a quick look at Coxes Mill and pond before crossing the railway and heading for New Haw where we joined the Wey canal again. We came off the canal at Dodds bridge and followed Dodds Lane onto the Pyrford Road and Lock Lane. A stop to view the flowers and old Norman stonework in Wisley Church allowed Dennis to catch up, meanwhile we heard via mobile link that Harold was already at lunch and waiting for us! We cycled onwards through sunshine and birdsong, over the A3 bridge and across Wisley airfield and down towards the Chilbrook Road. Harold racing in the opposite direction met us and we all had a lovely lunch, some very sustaining sandwiches consumed. We set off past the old bakehouse which is now a chapel and through the bridleway to Tilt Road, Fairmile Lane and Garsons Farm for tea, followed by a quick viewing of Waynfletes Tower - yes I know they did it last week but its well worth looking at if you haven't seen it. Through the streets to Hampton Court then along the river to Kingston.
