As I led part way on the tow path going to Walton Day Centre I decided to go by road for our ride to lunch. We took the Walton road and turned right at the roundabout to Molesey. Before we got to the main shopping area I noticed the new venue for 11s at Molesey. Its quite a way from the School Road venue, so glad we passed it before attempting to find it in future. We went over Hampton Court bridge and through Bushy Park. Turned left, down Teddington High Street, for lunch at Tide End Cottage. The last couple of weeks, I have found it quite amusing to see Mark R up in the group, with his new electric bike. Last week, when we went through Blackhills to Arbrook Common, Mark wanted to try his bike up hill, so turned left to go up to the traffic lights. He was waiting for us on the corner of Claygate!
After lunch, we went to Hampton Wick, where Cliff and Les went towards Kingston to go home; and John C., Sandy and myself went into Bushy Park, passing the skateboard play area, Hampton Court, Long Ditton to Ewell. John went home; Sandy and I had drinks outside a new coffee shop in Ewell before going through Nonsuch Park and home.

[ Sadly the GPS bearer, Ron, had a puncture on the way to Walton and due to technical problems removing the rear wheel from his bike and getting it back on he was unable to gather the GPS data for the usual route map.]
