Easy Riders Feb 16th

Fuzz, Lynda, John C, Philip, Mark, Roger, Beryl, Angie, Cliff and Dave set off on a beautiful sunny morning turning left out of the Day Centre, and left again into the Park to a lane which led us to Pine Grove and the start of what became known as the Railway Station ride as we passed close to Walton, Hersham, Esher and Thames Ditton stations. From Pine Grove we took a fairly direct route down Oatlands Avenue, Station Avenue and Rydens Road cutting through the lane at Hersham Sewage works. Then via Mill road, Douglas Road and Weston Green Road. Before crossing Hampton Court Way we stopped on the corner and led by Fuzz we gave three cheers to Derek, and then continued on into Thames Ditton and the George and Dragon for lunch and some really fine ale. The George and Dragon was Shepherd Neame’s Community Pub of the Year in 2009. After lunch Angie, Cliff and Mark having left earlier we continued to Cheam to the Point for tea and cake and an amusing talk about Memories. A great day out with plenty of sunshine, I clocked up 37 miles and most of the others had over 30 miles.
