Very good turnout in fine weather at Shepperton.We were treated to coffee and tea being the occasion of a birthday also Linda dispensed some very tasty chocolate covered coconut cakes. Phil was to have led the ride but for some reason Ron did the honours en route for The Red Lion at Thorpe. Among the fifteen or so riders was John C., Bill H., Fuzz, Dennis, Roger, Johnno, Lisa, Beryl, Lynda and me. We took the road through Lower Shepperton and over Chertsey Bridge, past the traffic lights then offroad through Penton Hook etc. The surface was quite reasonable until the last bit where the potholes had been filled in with rocks making progress tricky. We split up in Coldharbour Lane around fifty yards from the pub. The food was good and promptly served. Ron is a good leader; always waits for a chap like me and in spite of the rocks it was a good ride. I believe they went back to Shepperton for tea but being less than four miles from home I chickened out----------------Albert
