Having punctured outside Long Ditton Garden Centre it was nearly 11.30 a.m. before I arrived at the British Legion Hall where 16 B riders were patiently waiting for me. After passing the Black Swan we crossed the airstrip to Elm Corner, croosed the A3 by the bridge and cycled through Wisley village. The road from Pyrford Lock was closed to traffic for road resurfacing, but we managed to avoid the wet tarmac and squeeze past the approximately 10 surfacing machines to reach Pyrford Green. We joined the Basingstoke canal near Maybury and cycled along the canal through the centre of Woking, and eventually left the canal path at Arthurs Bridge Road. One of our number stopped to make use of the "facilities" at the "Communty Church" on Bullbeggar's Lane (Thank you Liz for waiting for him). We cycled thru' Chobham, where we lost our way only slightly, and arrived for lunch at the Red Lion in Burrowhill shortly after 1 p.m.
A group of Cyclists from Woking CTC were already in residence as were quite a few other diners. Nevertheless the service was quick and we were able to leave again shortly after 2p.m.
The way back in the afternoon was thru' Ottershaw, Rowtown, Cox's Lock, Weybridge and Walton. Most went straight home but three of us had tea at The Weir Public House by Sunbury Lock.
