A Group Oct 28

An interesting situation at The Greeno Centre as we shared the room with the ending of an elderly persons keep fit session complete with music. We seemed to have the edge as the Wayfarers at full volume take some beating!
19 riders followed on what was planned by me to be an idealistic ride at a steady pace and nobody being dropped as has happened on six of the last eight rides. A warm sunny windless day was ideal as we wandered through Chertsey, Staines and Wraysbury to a very efficiently served lunch at The Five Bells Horton.
Back to Staines via the cycle route alongside the M25 heading for tea at Upper Halliford, at this point the ideal ride disintergrated as one by one at least eleven riders overtook the leader and vanished into the distance the remainder turned left into Littleton & Charlton arriving at The Orangery Tea Room wondering why does one bother to lead at all!
