Sunday February 27 2011

Thirteen made it without assistance to Sainsburys Cobham for elevenses; some arriving at opening time, others (who had not checked times) up to a hour later. It was still bright though not for much longer as eight rode along Convent Lane and then up the Seven Hills Road pavement. Whilst turning right by Weybridge Station Ann was shunted from behind by a car causing her to fall. Neither rider nor bike suffered greatly so we continued to Addlestone where a new helmet was acquired. The route went past The Otter and up to Foxhills where the first drops landed. As we made the turn into Gracious Pond Road, up went the pace to the short dash to the Four Horseshoes at Burrowhill reached before one despite the mishap.

It was a day for hot meals all around while outside the rain increased. The way back was up Staple Hill and down to the hospital. There after a quick poll, another Sunday passed without a teastop. We now headed back into Addlestone (where the leader left us), Weybridge, Walton and Hersham where we split. Naturally the rain stopped minutes after reaching home. Around 40 miles door to door.

Ann,
I am so sorry to hear of your mishap today. I do hope you are OK with no ill effects and hope that you got the number of the car and it's drivers details in case of any re-percussion at least you should claim the cost of you helment. Steve make sure you look after Ann as I know you will! Mike
