At Lynda's suggestion we decided to ride from Ashtead to the Stepping Stones
at Westhumble but just as we were ready to leave my chain broke and I had a
vision of tramping down to Ashtead train station. As fortune would have it there
was a local bike mechanic who took my multi tool which had a chain breaker and
promptly re-joined the chain. As it was apparent that I had never had the tool
out of the pouch he advised me that I should regard it as a useful tool to be
used rather than just an ornament. Rather humbling.
We went a slightly different route around Leatherhead via Ermyn Way and I
promptly lost six of the group but it wasn't serious. After re-grouping we
trundled along to Westhumble via Norbury Park Farm and enjoyed our starters as
main courses were out of the question on such a hot day. It was then back to
Leatherhead and over Ashtead Common to enjoy our tea stop at Senzos café
adjacent to the Epsom train station entrance.
Home to a cooling shower - separately, of course.
