There was a distinct shortage of Easy Riders at Cobham,
just a select few, Mark, Ron, John Conacher and Brian Bent. With the
Olympic Time Trial passing close by we agreed that we should get a piece of the
action. Our first move was to locate Cobham Recreation Ground and the large
screen installed there. This done we decided that rather than wait for the
start of the Ladies Race we would go for an early lunch and get back in time for
the race. We went out via Downside and Bookham to the Sir Douglas Haig at
Effingham. Mark left us to return to the Cobham Screen, John and I caught up on
Olympic Rowing on The Haig's big screen while Ron and Brian found somewhere to
eat their sandwiches. After lunch John headed for Leatherhead and home, leaving
Ron, Brian and myself to go back to Cobham and the big Screen. We met up with
Mark again and saw the last stages of the Ladies Race. We then bade each other
farewell, I stayed long enough to see Bradley Wiggins setting out, (on the big
screen), and then raced home to catch the finale on my TV.
