A rainbow in the early morning sky may have proved to be an ominous portent for some who decided not to join us today. For those who did we enjoyed exploring a varied route, occasionally punctuated by the odd shower but also complemented with bright sunny spells.
After a brief group re-shuffle we headed out west via Weybridge, Chertsey and out to Chobham Common for the obligatory photo (in bright sunshine). A few meanderings brought us through Chobham, Horsell and on towards Woking. A sharp shower caused the leader to take an unscheduled detour onto the Woking one-way system but soon got back on track as we headed to our lunchtime destination at the ‘Herbert Wells’ (W’spoons) pub. Prompt service meant that everyone was fed and watered without delay.

Two of our company decided to return home by train while the remaining stoic and loyal followers, suitably refreshed and re-energized, proceeded to embark upon the afternoon expedition. We passed through Pyrford Common, a brief off-road section along the Way Navigation, Wisley, Ockham, East Horsley, Effingham Junction to Stoke D’Abernon for tea at Cafe Barbara’s. A bit damp to sit outside so we enjoyed some warming refreshment indoors. Some conspicuously large portions of chocolate cake were also ravenously consumed !

Thanks to everyone who made today’s ride a success and especially to John A for subbing and Mick A and Tim C for back marking. Always good to know there are those in whom you can depend upon and rely, whatever the weather throws at you.
A good day had by most !
