My thanks to all the riders that came along with me on Wednesday, 28 of us left Cobham B.L., quite a sight!!
Sorry Grant was a little 'under the weather' so wasn't with us for long. Ray stayed with us almost to the lunch venue-he must have guessed we would have a long wait with so many to be served! Nevertheless, the staff were extremely pleasant and did their best.
A group left Cobham, on the way to Ripley, via Chilbrook Road, missing the pot holes in Plough Lane!!!
From Ripley we followed Newark Lane (past the ruined Priory) to Woking Road where a swift right led us to the six cross roads roundabout on the A320! Lucky for us it was not at all busy with traffic, so no hassle getting into Woodham Road on the way to Horsell Rise and Cheapside to The Plough public house in Horsell on the outskirts of Woking town! Just incase you didn't all know that!! Doreen and Ron joined us for lunch after having driven around in circles looking for the place! As we were leaving John A had a 'flattie' but before he could get the wheel out (with the help of Pete B), Toni D noticed the valve was not tight so a quick pump and we were on our way. Should I mention that Judy had punctured earlier, aptly repaired by Frank!
From the pub we took a left into South Road, through Horsell village, right into Arthur's Bridge Road where we joined the tow path of the Basingstoke Canal. A slightly challenging ride to Byfleet after Maybury? (where the good surface now finishes), for resurfacing is being carried out and trees are being cut down etc. etc....
Through West Byfleet to Pyrford Road, Lock Lane, over the A3 to Ockham Bites for tea......
It may have been one of the less challenging routes but I had a most enjoyable day - so thanks to: Bob, Vic, Pete B, Toni D, Paul, Mike, Neil, Dave, John M, Mark, Rob, Will, Frank, Judy, Ian, Don, Ray, Grant, Ed, Jeff, Gordon, Graham Holder, Julian, John A, Dave Jarvis, Doreen and Ron! and my good buddy Irene for her patience as the back marker. Not forgetting our guest John Smith from Scotland!
John A had punctured after all for he and Ed had their machines upside down with wheels removed outside the cafe at Ockham!
