With keen wind before the start, I resolved to cut the fat from my ride keeping it short and direct. There were twenty between me and TEC Irene as we headed out of the Greeno centre. Thanks to the weather(?) the main roads were quiet before we turned towards Chertsey Meads and a section of NCN4. Up and over St Anne's Hill was a prelude to the modest climbs through Lyne and up to Fan Court and then along the oddly named Accommodation Road. Zigzaging past Emmett's Mill and Mimbridge brought us to Horsell a shade before 12:30 as a light drizzle set in. The pub was empty when we arrived but we soon changed that!
The drizzle had past by when we left. 19 for lunch dwindled on the return with John S despatched towards Woking station, and Irene and Julian disappearing at West Byfleet reached via the very smooth towpath. The Anchor at Pyrford Lock looked packed as were Wisley Gardens. Across the aerodrome and past the Mucky Duck the weather improved with a hint of sun. A dozen made it to Sainsbury's Cobham for the great debate and thence home. A fine day and next up, my dotage starting Sunday.
