When I was asked to describe the ride I said “Worplesdon via Windlesham”, to which some wag replied “Weally”. Fortunately it wasn’t wet wide as well (at least not until much later).
13 of us set off – not promptly which had consequences for lunch – for a flat ride working our way towards Worplesdon through Rowtown, Rowhill, Ottershaw, Burrowhill, West End, Bisley and Knaphill to The Jolly Farmer at Worplesdon.

We arrived at five minutes past one. The management decided that, as they were busy and we were a large group, we could only order off the reduced menu (not something I was told about when I had booked the previous day for 20 arriving between 12.45 and 1pm). That coupled with £1.95 for a pint of orange squash probably ensures there will be little repeat business.
After lunch we made our way back to Addlestone via Westfield, Old Woking and Maybury, and along the canal and navigation to New Haw, ending up at Crockford’s Farm just round the corner from the day centre. We shed 3 along the way and the 10 who remained enjoyed a brief moment outside before being driven inside by a sharp downpour.
I did a modest 41 miles and as a group we did 28 miles from elevenses to tea. Thanks to Terry for keeping a watch at the back and Tim for his mapping. A good day out with the B’s!
