Easy Riders - December 7th 2011

Ten easy riders left Cobham in windy conditions,and set off for Thames Ditton. My theory being that with Xmas parties starting there are four choices of pubs in Thames Ditton should a split be necessary.

We left Cobham via Church Street along Mill Road and left into Leigh Hill Road. Straight over Fairmile Lane and left into Sandy Lane, left onto A244 and immediately right into Stokesheath Road (this road is being resurfaced). Left into Fairoaks Lane and thence across Princes Coverts bridleway into Claygate. From Claygate over Littleworth Common bridleway to Thames Ditton via Weston Green Road.

We arrived at the Old Swan at 12:40 and they settled seven of us on one table. Most of the tables were reserved so as well we arrived early. This is a good pub, food good and served quickly, the manager makes cyclists welcome. Fuzz, Mick and Phil left us here, and the rest went to tea at the Kings Centre - home after lighting up time but before full darkness.
