Was it the lousy forecast that kept them away?
But in the event....there's no rain today.
A small group of eight met at Fairoaks.
Full to the brim, with like-minded folks.
At the six mile point, we ground to a halt.
A puncture you see, but who's at fault?
Bike upturned, tyre losing air.
Second for Richard, that's so unfair!

By 1pm, we all needed filling.
Farnborough it was, The Tilly Shilling.
The food smelt good, smiles all round.
A satisfying meal, for just a few pound.
Back to the bikes, after a pic or two.
Wind assisted, it felt like we flew.
By tea we were down to six.
The ride over, we'd had our fix.
Thanks for your company, but especially Dave Ward for the faultless route out & most of it coming back & also Dave Vine for assisting Richard & backmarking.
