John Connaughton was the only Easy Rider to brave the rain in order to make the North Cheam start. Sandy Bayliss and I, having delayed our departure, cycled independently to join John at Leatherhead.
Just the three of us, but our reward was a beautiful late autumn day.
Given the likelihood of muddy paths on Bookham Common, we decided to stick to tarmac, following Cobham Road to Stoke d’Abernon en route to our lunch stop at the Running Mare at Lower Cobham Tilt. We returned home via the Portsmouth Road, West End, Thames Ditton and Surbiton.
Hardly the most imaginative of routes perhaps but we logged the miles (35 in my case) and were glad we had taken a chance on the weather.
