We had a joint effort leading yesterday. Roger's route and me in front.
15 of us left Kingston for the ride; a few others called in for coffee and cake.
There was me and Roger up front, followed by Dave, Alan x 3, Ron, Dennis, Bill H. Pat, Cliff, Les, John, Fuzz and Albert.
Fuzz got a puncture and told us to go on; but think he went home, as he didn't show at the pub for lunch. Albert went back before lunch; I thought he was being rather optimistic after cycling all the way to Kingston. I had a call later on from him, so he must have been relaxing with his usual! The rest of us took the pretty way to Cobham via Hinchley Wood. Decided not to go through Arbrook Common, so continued the usual way to Blackhills. Passed the Fairmile and left at the Rugby Grounds. A right turn at the junction took us to The Tilt. Then we headed over to The Running Mare. Always a popular pub; with quite a few cars in the car park when we arrived at 12.15pm. But, we got served fairly quickly; and their food and presentation always very good. We returned, passing The Plough at Stroke d'Abernon. Through Oxshott via The Crown Estate; and made our way to Claygate for tea. Some went straight home and 6 of us had tea. I caught a shower on my way home; but it fizzled out as I was going through Ewell Park. It just shows; don't listen to the weather forecast!
