23 left Shepperton, we left Stephany behind as she had lost the key to her bike lock! She said she would join us at lunch when the matter was sorted, she never got to lunch with us. The route was off road where possible through parks and open spaces, along the river Crane and across Hounslow heath, Avenue and Cranford parks, where we lost Peter C who went off to the loo and never rejoined us, and and the cycle park along side the Hayes by-pass to Minet Country park and a lap of Hillingdon cycle circuit.
Then on through back roads and across Lake Farm Country park to lunch at the White House Stockley park and a chance to warm up. Chris had punctured and managed to join us for lunch. Service, as usual in Wetherspoons, was good and it was soon time to leave. I opted for a quicker route to tea as the temperature had dropped. Heading South to Harlington and through Cranford and over the M4 into Osterley park and South to the river. Heading towards Twickenham we were soon at tea at the Coach house in Marble Hill park.
A pleasant ride with good company through suburbs on a cold and dull day.
Lunch in the warmth of Wetherspoons

I was fortunate that a shop on the high St quickly sold me a hacksaw and I was able to free Sue. I attempted to follow..went past the gunpowder tower on Hounslow Heath and followed the R Crane but lost the little routes and got stuck on a busy road to Hayes so retreated via Feltham and Sunbury to home. My feet were freezing!
Glad to hear you got free, shame you couldn't meet us.
