Easy Riders Aug 5th

"C" Group ride

Phil led a group of around 20 from the Cobham elevenses stop. There were too many to name everyone but the regulars were all there - Fuzz, Roger, Lynda, Beryl, Lisa, Jonathan etc. It was a fine day but people seemed reluctant to get going so it was nearly 11.30 before we left - having first politely let the A and B Groups take to the road. Our route took us over the Mole along Plough Lane, and Ockham Lane to the cycle path alongside the A3, (via Martyr's Green and Old Lane). We left the A3 by crossing the footbridge to Wisley and then to Pyrford lock. A right and a left turn took us to abridleway (Sandy Lane) and we were soon headng for lunch at the Saddler's Arms Sendmarsh. We found here that Albert and Son with their splendid tandem tricycle were happily esconced there. Everyone enjoyed lunch in th sunshine and appreciated the friendly service and good food (very reasonably priced). After lunch it was the regular route home via Groveheath Road and Ockham. I left the peleton at the Black Swan to head home to Effingham, they were heading to tea at Claygate.
