A Ride to Denham...


A wet start to the day meant there were a lot of uneaten cakes at Addlestone DC as only the hardy few made it to elevenses. ‘The Magnificent Seven’ riders set off and for the rest of the day, although damp, not too troubled by additional rain. We managed a swift twenty eight miles ride to Denham Village for lunch via Pinewood Studios, Fulmer, Gerrard’s Cross and Chalfont St Peter. We were joined at The Falcon Inn by Tony Hopkins who had been attending another CTC AGM in the village.

The ride home was rapid, through Uxbridge and couple of miles of solid towpath along the Grand Union to Southall and eventually tea in Richmond.

Well done to the riders for braving the early day elements on a very grey’ Back to the Future’ day.

I braved the elements as far as Richmond Park, but being thoroughly soaked and chilled to the bone despite waterproofs and winter gear I decided that a hot shower and domestic duties were preferable to continuing the torture.
