Eight of us met at North Cheam this morning, with Liz having a lie-in and joining us a bit later at coffee; where we were also joined by George, young Bernard, Don and John B (while Godfrey headed home after coffee, having assisted Dee en route with adjustments to her back wheel, which was not moving freely and was making the first part of the ride very hard going).
We set off at 11.30 from Hersham, making our way north east to join the Thames towpath at Sunbury Lane, passing the QE11 reservoir.
Weather was quite mild, but a little drizzle accompanied us along the river. We crossed at Hampton Bridge, where John B developed a puncture with a loud bang. Paul very kindly stopped to assist him; sadly they didn't make it to join us for lunch at the Wych Elm pub in Kingston.
The welcome was warm at the pub with blazing fire, great service and delicious food.
We all went our separate ways afterwards, with Liz leading Helen, Sandie and Dee home to Stoneleigh.
Many thanks all for a pleasant ride, and to Godfrey, John B and Sandie for back marking.
