Report for A Group ride from Addlestone, 16th October

There were two groups that gathered at Costa Coffee in Addlestone, ready to depart at their allotted times, and made their way just along from the round about to be safely on their way. We made our way along to pick up the Basingstoke Canal, where the sun was out brightly and the autumn colours were brilliant.

After some distance, we finally left the quietness of the canal in the St. John's area to cycle into the calmness of the Brookwood Cemetery, from there a long slow climb up to Mytchett and finally into Farnborough and the designated lunch stop, The Tilly Shilling, on Victoria Road, both groups arriving by 12.30.

Being a Weatherspoons, the meals were quickly put before us, allowing us to depart, again in sunshine for the ride back via Frimley, Lightwater, Windlesham and finally Chertsey before arriving in glorious sunshine at the Ferry Cafe, Shepperton.

Sitting outside in the warmth of Autumn sun was very pleasant and possibly the last day like this for the current year, a truly wonderful day out.

Many thanks to everyone for being such great company, those that back marked and everyone that called out that the group were all together, so enabling the rides and groups to keep a pace.
