Easy Riders, 21st May

We arrived at The Kings Centre the same time as Pat M.  Two new riders joined us - Alan and John - Welcome!  I had a message from John C who has bad back pain.  Get Well Soon.

We were a dozen or so leaving the Centre towards Claygate.  Took a right turn after the A3 bridge and down to Long Ditton - passing Squires Garden Centre to the foot tunnel; where I suggested to walk as twice before there had been shattered glass down the far end - and its still there.  Into Hampton Court - over the bridge and left into Bushy Park.  A left there, passing The Pheasantry.  We took the second Woodland Gate exit which goes by the side of Hampton open-air pool.  We then turned left down to the High St. and next right, which took us to The Jolly Coopers.  This is a favourite pub, v nice food on large plates and friendly staff.  We made up a large table outside and Sonia joined us, after having dealt with her puncture. 

After lunch we took the path round Bushy Park and out of Hampton Wick Gate.  We walked through the Market Place and took back roads to Worcester Park.  Turned right passing the Hogsmill pub down to Ruxley Lane and into Ewell Court Park.  Les made his way home and the rest of us went to the café; sitting outside with either cake or ice-cream.  A pleasant day and we all got home without a shower.
