To-days ride was led by Irene.
On yet another fine November morning, nineteen cyclists left Weybridge on their way to Addlestone. Into Green Lane, left and right, next right into Hardwick Lane making our way to Stroude Road where we passed Great Fosters Hotel, originally a 16th century mansion that was once actually in Windsor Great Park! Into Egham, up the hill, right into Middle Hill arriving at Englefield Green, apparently heading for Windsor Park but we turned into Wick Lane where thirteen of us had lunch at The Sun public house, six chose to go to Saville Gardens for refreshment! The Sun is a very nice pub but it took over an hour before all the group received their food!! Hence, the folks who went into Saville Gardens finished their lunch long before The Sun group - so - led by Gill, they went on their way to 3s's! (Or home)!
It must have been 2.30 when we cycled away from the pub! Irene was hoping to have tea in Walton but as it was so late, she settled for tea at The Bakers in Shepperton.
We had that wonderful free wheel ride down Tite Hill into Egham, through Thorpe, around Penton Park and over Chertsey Bridge to Shepperton. Only four folks stopped for tea. After sharing Bernard's rather large piece of bread pudding, Pam and Irene returned to Staines and Robin and Bernard cycled to Feltham station.

PS....I was in such a hurry when I wrote this report that I forgot to thank Irene for leading us to-day on a very interesting and pleasant ride - Thank you Irene :)
