B Group April 20th

Twenty eight of us set out turned left along the main street, right across
the canal bridge , back streets to Addlestone station level crossing, left after crossing the M25 through the back streets of Woodham to the canal for 2 miles Right up Monument road left at roundabout Woodham road through back roads Horshill road L and R Horshill common road, L and R Phillpot Road
L Chertsey Road R Mincing Lane and L to the Red Lion Pub. Because of the large group about 8 went on to another pub in Burrowhill/ Chobham. Just as well because it took some time to serve at the Red Lion . Jut as we were finishing lunch a large report came from the cycle’s area, Cliff’s rear tyre had blown of the rim, it was in the sun but partially covered by mudguard.
The Surry Cycle Guide Map showed a “comfortable to ride” track across Chobham common however it was hard to find and rather sandy when another puncture delayed us further. By now the group had split, some taking the Nehill road and tow path to Walton Bridge. The rest went through Ottershaw and back roads To Chertsey Bridge and via Shepperton to meet up for tea in The Walled Garden, without Paul whose chain kept coming off, and Terry who had a puncture.
What a beautiful warm summer’s day with all the fresh new green foliage and scents in abundance.
Cheers Robin.
