Easy Riders - 29th January

We left Weybridge to go round the town until we got to the cycle path along Weybridge Road and Woburn Hill and turned right at the top to follow the track to Chertsey Bridge. We then followed the Thames northwards to Laleham and right into Shepperton Road / Laleham Road and then left into Squire's Bridge Road. That led into New Road where we turned right into Charlton Lane and into Upper Halliford where we stopped for lunch at the Goat. After replenishment we took Halliford Road into Sunbury where we turned left into Green Street. A short way along there on the right is Hawkewood Road where a tarmac covered pathway begins and takes the rider parallel to Thames Street and ends at Harfield Road which leads into Lower Sunbury Road. This pathway avoids the narrow and hump ridden Thames Street and the frustrated vehicle drivers using it. My thanks to Ray Wren for introducing me to this pleasant route.

We then made our way along Lower Hampton Road into Bushy Park and along to and over Kingston Bridge. While wending our way through Kingston it was suggested that we could stop for tea or coffee at the Bradbury Centre and five of us happily sat down to our second cheap tea or coffee - result!
