Easyriders - 17th July
A blistering day for a cool ride. We headed through the market place and cut down to the riverside. At Teddington Lock we crossed in order to enjoy the Twickenham riverside. Here Fuzz's extensive knowledge came into play and we were guided to the gardens of York House to view the white bottoms of the water nymphs dangling in various poses from the greenery of a beautiful fountain, topped with charging horses with webbed hooves. A fantastic spectacle in top grade Carrerra marble. Photos to follow, when I can find the bit to download them... Refreshed by viewing we proceeded up to Richmond and the usual route to Isleworth. Lunch was enjoyed from the cool interior of the London Apprentice with a lovely view of the river. Weather conditions gave Fuzz the excuse to enjoy two desserts instead of dinner. As the majority of the party wanted to head towards Kew we set off resolutely through the afternoon heat, crossing the pleasant pastures of Syon House but thence main roads dominated until the greeny cool of Richmond Park allowed a little respite. Three stopped for refreshments at the golf club before descending into Raynes Park and home. Thanks to Judy, Norman, Fuzz, Brian, Roy, Ron and Ray.
