Easy Riders Nov 18th


It was quite an eventful day.

We had a pleasant ride through Ewell Park to Claygate with Liz. Then, as it is a closer destination from our start, we had a leisurely tea/coffee before getting into our groups. Albert led on his trike, followed by Chris, Bill H., Fuzz, Roger, John x2, Beryl, Angie, Les and Mark towards West End. It was a very windy day and the threat of rain loomed overhead. We got past The Bear at Esher when there was a camber in the road; with potholes. It was a very bad stretch for those on two wheels; (Les took some photos on his phone camera); but, unfortunely Albert got unbalanced and went down. His injuries consisted of a cut on the top of his nose; caused by his glasses and a cut hand,which looked quite deep, even though he had gloves on. Chris and Bill stayed with him to contact his son, Peter; the rest of the group continued to The Pub; (can't remember the name now); next to Garsons Farm. It was good to get there early; as we were first served. Its a very popular pub with very good food and service. After lunch, Roger lead to Hampton Court; where we enjoyed cake and tea at, yes, you guessed, Five on the Bridge. Beryl was telling us stories of her recent holiday in Australia, where she stayed for 2 months and 2 weeks . We were down to six then and made our separate ways home. On my way through Nonsuch Park I saw Lionel Blair walking his two dogs, on a rather long lead. It was stretching right across the path; he was 'miles away', so he didn't see me on my bike till I came face to face with him; he said, Sorry! He's the only smart person I know with a tan that walks their dog in Nonsuch Park. Then, I called in to Nuffield for a jaquassi and sauna. Its Harold's moving day today - hope all went well. I'm off to the cinema this evening to see, 'Men starring at goats' - say no more!!!
