Easy Riders - 10th July

I eventually caught up with the riders at Claygate after realising that I was the only person meeting at Chessington (!) . As we left, Bernard Power and I got into conversation and I lost all the others - I think that I was having a 'senior' day as I cycled round and round Claygate and Oxshott. I then decided to go on my own ride as I knew that the others were having their lunch at the Rubbing House by Epsom Grandstand. Apparently the others went a more direct route through Prince's Coverts, where a kind lady unlocked the gate, and emerged by the Star on Leatherhead Road. Then it was across Ashtead Common and ending up by climbing Chalk Lane to the Downs. I eventually arrived just as their lunch was served. After, Liz led us through a lot of small roads and back alleys to Cheam for tea and coffee.

It may not affect very many riders but I understood from a couple of the workmen that the cycle and pedestrian route parallel to New Malden train station to Raynes Park is scheduled to be opened this Saturday, 13th. July.

Best wishes
