A Group ride to Haslemere


Yesterday’s ride to Haslemere provided a challenge through pleasant country roads combined with the occasional ‘lumpy’ bit. The ride took its toll, the unusual sight of Mark with a puncture (& split tyre), a broken chain link on my bike and a broken spoke testified to the rigour of the ride. Twenty nine miles of rolling country lanes followed by a pleasant lunch in the sun at Haslemere, a quick repair by Mark to his tyre and we were off towards tea at Squires in West Horsley. Unfortunately we missed tea by ten minutes so had to settle for cold drinks. Well done to all, especially Mike who powered along on his single speed. Thanks to Jeff (the spare part man) and Simon for back marking.

So sorry guys the problems on yesterday's ride were all my fault. I was foolish enough to comment to my wife the other day that it was very rare for there to be serious mechanicals on a Wayfarers' ride.

I should have known better!
