| Walton to Thorpe village and back to the Walton Centre for tea (about 18 miles) |
It was a very short ride for the B group to-day...resulting in a short ride report!
I was surprised to count more than 20 riders before starting off on our epic ride!! Irene very kindly offered to lead the second group of a convenient split and it was very successful....many thanks Irene. Also my thanks to Terry for being our back marker to-day!
We left Walton on the tow-path heading for Weybridge and we followed the usual route through to Addlestone, along Green Lane, just touching the A320 before turning right into Holloway Hill. My plan was to take the next right turn but we were a little ahead of ourselves time wise so I continued along Holloway Hill keeping right at the fork and then turning into Lyne Lane, right into Almers Road, taking a left at the T and next right over the railway and M3. We took a right at the next T and on into Thorpe village where we had lunch at The Red Lion. A very nice pub, good food served by very pleasant bar persons!!
We were on our way back to Walton by 2pm via Chertsey park, Chertsey Bridge, Dockett Eddy Lane and Shepprton Church Road. The plan was to have tea at the Riverside Arts Centre but we found it closed (between Xmas and New Year) so....some one had the brilliant idea...have tea at the day centre! We were so lucky for one of the staff (I feel ashamed to say that I have forgotten her name), very kindly made pots of tea for at least a dozen of us. Bargain of the day at 50p a cup!!
So ended another super day....thanks to all for being one of to-days party!
Pam :-) :-)
