A ride 26 April

I may not be popular with those gravelophobes riding wafer thin 23s who hate to leave the tarmac. On the recce I heard a dad at Osterley explain to his young daughter that his game with her was "not dangerous, just mild peril". So maybe it's "mild peril" that awaits those who venture with me beyond Osterley to the Grand Union canal. We'll rejoin the tarmac for most of the ride out to Cowley and Iver. Then a short stretch of Sustrans 61 to Bellswood Lane ( where it's too early for last year's nettle peril)  is followed by more "mild peril|" on the bridleway across Langley Park to George Green. From there it's all road to the Emperor at Farnham Royal. A straightforward return across the wastes of Slough to Datchet. Tea probably at Walton.

The Emperor have asked me to gather lunch orders. I'll start doing this about 1045 and aim for a prompt 1100 departure if we are to arrive by 1315. The menu is attached so you can come prepared.
