We found Terry Lowe and Vic White waiting for us at Weybridge DC on the off chance that they might ride with the Easy Riders, but they decided to go on their own rides as we had planned to go East for our lunch.
Only six of us left Weybridge DC as the weather looked uncertain but, in fact, turned out to be good for the time of year. We took the path at the back of the nearby car park and made our way along back roads to Oatlands Avenue. At the end we turned right, left and right again to go down Station Avenue and at the crossroads went straight over into Rydens Road. We took off right along Walton Park, left into Molesey Road and right along the path to Mill Road. From there we made our way to and across Hampton Court Bridge and into Bushy Park, through Kingston and to our planned lunch stop at the Wych Elm.
We had agreed to meet Helen Tovey at the pub, but she had arrived earlier and messaged us that there were "no lights, no life and no lunch" at the Wych Elm. With circumstances as they are, the landlord had decided that the pub would, in future, open at 3.00 pm. Ray Wren decided to go home as he had pressing business that he had to deal with. After a brief discussion we decided to go to Woodies at New Malden as it was on the way home and we were uncertain about the weather. We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and made it home in clement weather.
