We had a most enjoyable ride and we were very pleased to welcome Paul Tuohy into our group. He proved to be a very agreeable riding companion and was kind enough to treat us all to our morning tea in Horley. In the afternoon he departed to attend to the fallout from the case of Robert Hazledean who has just been given a heavy fine for running into and injuring a pedestrian who was crossing the road while looking at her phone. Apart from that concern Paul was very pleased to have been able to take time away from the office and come riding with us.
We also had a photographer, Peter Cornish accompanying us, sprinting ahead to ambush us with his camera. After our cuppa in Horley he went round the corner to another café to join Tony's group, in search of more photogenic subjects probably. We will look forward to seeing the results but if you visit Paul's Twitter feed https://twitter.com/Paultuohy and scroll down a little way you will see Peter's lovely photo of our club Mum and Dad. The next day Paul went to France with his wife Wendy and the pink tandem and you can see a few photos from their cycling holiday there.
We were pleased to be joined by Bob Pannell who registered for the event the day before but were most sad that Liz was feeling a bit wuzzy in the head and didn't want to risk riding, and that Paul James was suffering from sciatica after overdoing it on recent rides. However he went out in Maureen's group and had done over 100km by the time he arrived home. Both have pretty much come right and will be out this week.
