Nor’westers ?

The Northwest section of the Sou'westers, the Nor'westers, (or those members living 
Northwest of the catchment area), decided at 11’s that a 26 mile ride home from 
afternoon tea was a tad excessive so opted for an alternative plan.

There were 6 Nor’westers, Pam, Liz, Gill, Ed, Ray and myself. I was thrown into the 
fray to lead as I had suggested Woking. So off Ripley bound. Heading up Hungry hill 
we met Tony D coming the other way. We stopped for a brief chat and he was doing 
a solo long ride. 

Approaching Send I had a change of plan and headed around Woking heading for 
Chobham and Pashas for lunch, about 18 miles from 11’s.

We arrived at around 1.10 and sat inside in the cool. After a really nice lunch with everyone's 
appetite sated we set off for tea at Walton arts centre. Right out of  Chobham on the 
Chertsey road and a virtually straight road to Cherstey.

Languishing in the garden supping tea, it was hard to leave, but we did and at this point
dispersal was the order of the day and off home with 11 miles to go. For me. A lovely day
on the bike with the Nor'westers
