18 left the British Legion Hall at 11 a.m. and cycled over Wisley Airfield to Wisley and West Byfleet. Here we took the much improved and widened tarmac and gravel towpath of the Basingstoke Canal Westwards for nearly 4 miles, before turning North towards Goldsworth Park, where we semi-circumnavigated the lake. After 16 miles and nearly 2 hours since elevenses, we decided to stop slightly short of the original intended destination and took lunch at the Grove (formerly The Castle) just South of Chobham. The pub staff were very welcoming and served 17 of us very quickly despite not having being pre-warned of our arrival. The food was good too-Liz said her omelette was the best she has ever tasted.
We left for our afternoon ride at 2 p.m. taking the usual route via Gracious Pond Road, Home Wood Park and Bittams Lane to Addlestone, Weybridge and Walton. Here some went straight home, but 11 of us had tea at Walton Arts Centre.
