Easy Riders - 19th February

We left Kingston and went round the back roads towards Thames Ditton and then further back roads to join the cycle track alongside a heavily congested Hampton Court Way. The joy of cycling came to the fore as we could spin along the cycle track and pass so many vehicles crawling along. It was then over the bridge and into Bushy Park to make our way to the Railway pub in Teddington for lunch. As there had been good reports about this venue from B group we thought that we would try it and we were all impressed. Don Elms regaled us with his cooking and baking prowess, particularly about his fruit cake, but as no samples were produced, we had to take his word. We were so comfortable there that we even stayed for tea and coffee thus avoiding the need later on.

Again it was the back roads to Broom Road and along to the bridge at Teddington Lock. The towpath alongside the Thames was closed off so it was the back roads of Kingston and New Malden to home.
