A Group - 14 September

On a very sunny day 21 of us set off for the White Hart in Tongham, this included two new riders Stephen and Matt plus we had Brian who normally rides with the B's.

My intention was that we would have as flat a ride as possible giving us a chance to keep up a good average. It didn't work out too badly. We left Shepperton at about 11.20 as I had trouble contacting the pub to pass on the pre ordered lunches.

We arrived at 1.00 though this may be disputed by Ged as he though I was a minute out (yer).

Unfortunately the usual method of pay for the meal and drink was not in operation, so some meals were paid for on leaving. There was a problem with a couple of orders so not as good as I had hoped, never mind: live and learn.

After lunch we happy band set off for tea at Ripley passing through Seale, Puttenham and Guildford, we took the route to Ripley via Trodds Lane giving us a sweep down to tea at Pinnocks in Ripley.

Many thanks to all the fellow riders, to Colin for back marking yet again many thanks, and to all the corner markers that kept the ride going at a decent pace.
