Easy Riders - 4th January

Cobham to West End

At 11 30 a.m. seven were ready, all saddled up for the off when the puncture fairy put in her 2nd appearance,  Don being the first, and was just finishing putting his bike together when our 8th lady had a flat back tyre. Brian and Lizzie made short work of fixing it when I noticed Don was still struggling; I went over to discover his valve wasn’t working but was able to give him a new inner tube which soon had him on his way.
 
It was 12 0'clock by the time we made our move but had only got to West End Lane when she struck again but in both tyres.  We decided to call it a day and went into the Prince of Wales on the green and once again Brian came to the rescue and managed to find 2 inner tubes in his bag and made the bike all ship shape.  A BIG THANK YOU TO BRIAN.  
 
After lunch everyone was making their own way home.   The pub was very good with quite cheap food and a great variety. There is plenty of room inside plus a big garden outside for the summer; service was very prompt.
 
Thank you everyone for making the most of the ride.
