Sun at last !

Caterham is a long way to 11's, so the Norwesters sprang into action with a ride to Windlesham, and the Sun pub for lunch.


A good turnout at Shepperton Lock saw Tony, Simon, Pam, Gill, Ann, Carolyn, Arwyn and Geoff have 11;s in the Sun, a changeable headwind saw us heading West and out through Adlestone to Holloway Hill and down to Chobham, via the edge of Fareoaks airfield. We were soon queuing at the bakery opposite the Sun pub, the pub doesn't do food at present but are happy to let us eat brought-in food. Sitting the Garden and contemplating a way home, it was challenging to get back on the bike.
 





Chobham, Common soon led to Sunningdale and onto the entrance of WGP at Blacnest gate, and we were soon descending Tite Hill and the warm afternoon tea stop in Egham at Libertos, bar and coffee shop, again it was hard to tear ourselves away from the cosy suntrap, but away we went, back roads to the edge of Thorpe, Chertsey and then just 3 of us left for Ice cream at Walton Mariner. time was marching on, so homeward bound we headed.
 

Thank you all for a really nice day on the bike, and especially to Simon, of the blooded knee, for bringing up the rear.

Tony..
