Easy Riders May 12th






Parkview Day Centre Monday 24th May.
On this most historic date this centre is holding an opening ceremony for the new row of bike racks they have erected and would be delighted with your company.
The Centre is situated at Sheerwater between Woking and West Byfleet and Bill Hammond has made a neat little map which even I can read. So here goes with what I can contribute to the blog on yesterday`s ride
After elevenses at Leatherhead we spent some time admiring Fuzz` beautiful X frame Raleigh bike (see attached).With Lynda in the lead, around twelve of us set off for W.Morden but as Peter and I were tail end charlies we got seperated at a point of crossing the M25 with a multiple step climb and two pretty awkward tubular barriers which were too narrow for the rear wheels of our tandem trike. Arriving on tarmac and the Epsom road we stopped at The Haywain near Ashstead for lunch and a pint. There seemed to be more uphills than down when we got to The Old Plough at Stoke d`Abernon where another pint helped us along. After this it was all plain sailing and a whisky/mac at home. Around 40 miles--------------Albert
