Having swapped leadership for the day with Lynda, I led a small select group of Easy Riders from Leatherhead. It was good to see Fuzz and Mark Roy on their bikes again as well as Ron and a few new (to me) faces. Ten of us set out but two dropped out on the way to make their ways home for other appointments. We made for the Kingston Road via the Leatherhead one way system, the cycle track by the station, and finally getting to ride alongside the main road to Kingston. It was with some relief that we were able to turn on to the bridleway across the the north side of Epsom Common. It was pleasant cycling through the woodland, and past the peaceful Stew Pond where several anglers were basking in the sunshine. Soon we were out of the woods, the sandwich eaters went into the church grounds for their picnic, and the rest of us made for "The Cricketers" at Stamford Green. Two of our number decided to go home for lunch, so just four of us ate in the pub garden. After lunch Ron kindly agreed to lead the small number remaining back towards Ewell allowing yours truly to head for home in the opposite direction.
