Easy Riders March 17th

Spring seems to have finally arrived. Peter and yours truly made our trip to Kingston via the towpath from Walton to find the others waiting to start off from the Bradbury Centre. Fuzz led the ride to The Tapestry at Hayes with Roger, Lynda, Beryl, Chris, Dennis, Mark and a few more so we took our thirst with us. Almost from the word go we could not navigate the first hazard; a gate not wide enough for our tandem trike. We followed Dennis who knew the way to the point of exit, after which we kept up as far as our first port of call Mortlake. No beer to be found in the interesting cemetery there but the resting place of Sir Richard Burton (no ladies not that one). He was around in the eighteen hundreds and Peter sent me some pictures of the mausoleum in which his remains now reside. After this jolly ramble we made for the Tapestry at Barnes, a restaurant rather than a pub with furniture made from old church timbers and bottled beer rather than draught, but good IPA from Greene Kings. After a pleasant meal we two made a solo home run. Having the sun for our guide, the first place we recognised was Lower Sunbury. We took coffee at a cafe in Shepperton and on arriving home found 40 miles on the clock. Thanks Fuzz for a good run. attached photo
