A Group 7 March - Prezzo

The day broke with a strong southwesterly and driving rain. As nominated rides leader, I reluctantly threw off the duvet and ground my way out to Cobham to meet the valiant few who had made it thus far.

Nine A's set off in pouring rain across the Tilt and up Blundel Lane to Oxshott. The track from Fairoak Lane to Claygate was quite rideable despite the conditions and so it was in through Hook and Chessington to take the newly surfaced and now all weather path along the Bonesgate towards Tolworth.

Sticking to roads and tarmac paths we zigzagged back along the Hogsmill to enter Ewell along Meadow Path and then into Nonsuch Park. Here, with excellent timing, we caught up with the B's just in time to get to Prezzo's at Cheam for the Anniversary Lunch.

Many thanks to Lynda for organizing another excellent do.

Annual Lunch at Prezzo - 7 March

For the A Group, B Group and Easy Riders all roads led to Cheam

I would say that portion control left something to be desired

I think this includes everybody, even if you can't quite see them

A word of thanks to all who, on a damp and uninviting day, made their way by one means or another, to our annual lunch at Cheam.
Thanks to:

• Linda for making the arrangements
• our ride leaders, the unsung heroes who keep us on the right road
• the back-room boys and girls who quietly do all the organising
• all the MWW members who make the Club such fun

Prezzo Lunch

Lynda to be thanked as usual for organising yet another memorable Prezzo lunch.

Some of the stalwarts that always support these events, thanks to them and all that attended. (Maybe you get some more and better pictures from Jeff. While on the subject of the rides sec. it was good to see Steve Cox turn up looking very well indeed. Obviously the Narrow Boat is doing him good!

Anniversary Lunch

No doubt others will blog on this one or even report. It was a fantastic day with so many riders at Cobham for elevenses. The lunch at Prezzo in Cheam was attended by 53 members and was excellent value for £9, two courses and coffee including gratuity. The colorific value was enormous. I would like to put my name on record, in thanking Brian, as was done at the lunch today by others, for organising such a fantastic event.

The whole ambience of the day was great, especially with such fantastic weather and such wonderfull company.

Thanks also to Bob, Brian's kid brother for suggesting a nightcap in the local wine bar( for that is what it turned out to be-I got home to Walton le Hill at 7.30pm. the final cause of delay at the wine bar was Lynda still trying to sell her tea shirt printing. She rode by on the pavement around 5.30pm, having seen us in there at around 4pm, on first arrival. We bought her a lemonade to ensure she did not dehidrate on the way home, while we continued with another 95% alcohol free beer. We met a very interesting retired policeman who was emigrating to Cyprus. He is starting up a course fishing business for trout, bream and American Sea Bass, which apparently is deliciouse and is all caught on inland rivers and lakes.

I am sure that someone will put some pictures on this blog but I must repeat a fantastic day out and thanks again Brian for putting it on in style.
