Irene led 14 riders to Mayford via Ottershaw, past Fairoakes airport into Chobham, past the Grove public house, into Barrs Lane then a right up Anchor Hill, Knaphill. A left at the traffic lights led us to Blackhorse Road, left again at Saunders Lane, and so to Mayford.
Another day when the weather remained kind to us - at least until tea! Some what cooler than of late but only to be expected.
It seems that B group have not been to the Mayford Arms before, so it was good to hear that they were all delighted at the good value and the pleasant service from the staff.
Our route to 3s's was along New Lane, past Sutton Green golf course to Jacobs Well, onto the cycle path alongside the A3 and then we threadled our way to Hungry Hill and so into Cobham for tea at Sainsburys. Only four of us stopped to quench our thirsts (and a chat) for the skies had suddenly become very heavy with dark clouds! It did rain whilst we were inside but Irene and I reached home - still dry - but not with out the occasional threat of a soaking!
I do hope our new member Malcolm enjoyed his morning (he left us after lunch), for I'm sure his intention was to join the A group but before he had time to eat his bread pudding the A group had left!!
Irene tells me that I must say that she was grateful to me for being 'tail end Charlie' and to thank all who were on her ride. It was a very nice day........thank you Irene:)
OH!...and thank you Tim for blogging the days course.
I clocked 43 miles, door to door!
From Pam on behalf of Irene!!
