Easy Riders from Steph June 10th

Lots of C riders at Claygate, good to see Albert and Bill, welcome to Alan on his first time out with us. We set off down Foley road for the footpath over the railway bridge and headed west on firm paths across a portion of Arbrook Common, coming out to cross the road and ride down Blackhills, down the Portsmouth Road but once over the A3 we turned back to cycle the edge of Fairmile Common and down through the alleyways to Cobham. A breather here to mend a puncture (Eddy). Then Downside Bridge Road, Cobham Park, under the M25, across Bookham Common. A few stops and starts to answer phones and take waterproofs on and off. Linda and Sonia headed for the Blue Anchor at Bookham, the remainder pressed on through a few backstreets and onto the Cobham Road, through the Nature Reserve and up Bridge Street to Wetherspoons where Fuzz and Harold were waiting, along with Liz and a couple more deserters from the Dorking ride. Lynda and Sonia rejoined us and tea was taken in Epsom. Thanks to Cliff, Les, Fuzz, Beryl, Sonia, Lynda, Alan, Pat, and all others, especially Ron for the historical touches and help with the twiddly bits. Steph
