After torrential rain throughout Tuesday, Wednesday dawned cloudless and bright for our ride from Weybridge. Present were Ray, Toni, Pete M, Pete B, Jeff, Ed, Graham, Mark, Frank, Vic, Bob S, Don, Julian, Bob (out with us for the first time), Paul, Dave and Rob.
This was a ride to Guildford originally planned for when the freeze was on us. In the event, surface water proved to be our only natural obstacle at the usual spot near the River Mole in Plough Lane ouside Cobham.
Our route took us down Heath Road and past Brooklands into Byfleet. Then a short stretch of off road took us under the M25 and into Wisley Lane. From there it was through Pyrford and Send, before Potters Lane led us onto the A3. As we left the A3 Frank collected our only puncture of the day, before we meandered into central Guildford and the delights of ‘Spoons, via Jacobs Well and a tortuous footbridge across the A3 by the Wooden Bridge pub.
The return trip via Ripley took us to tea at Sainsbury’s at Cobham, after which the spring like conditions inspired Mark, and, later on, me to detour home via Box Hill, which boosted my day’s mileage to 61.
