Shorter Sunday ride

A few not wanting to venture a long way south just for 11.sopted for a closer to home 

start and ride. So Lonacres GC was our 11’s stop, with Simon and Maureen already 

there when I arrived, followed by Pam and eventually Martina. 

 

We set off around 11.15 and took a well cycled route to Horton, then up to Colnbrook,

 and whirly bridge to Langley and onto the up to the Langley road.and then right

 up to George Green, an old C&N well cycled route up to Wexham and Pinewood 

GC for lunch or not, the GC has closed and is now an ambulance service centre.

So we carried on North on roads I have not cycled in a good few years, eventually 

stopping atStoke Poges and a Cost coffee  I have used before, we were fortunate 

to have a lovely community garden to sit and enjoy our sandwiches and a coffee 

in the Costa.

 

Heading back South and entering the outskirts of Slough but avoiding roads as 

much as we could by using some lovely cycle routes through parks, eventually

 coming into Eton. Then a very familiar route back to Egham and an untimely 

mishap with a bollard resulted in a slightly bloody knee for one of the group. 

Then onto tea and biccy’s at Cafe De Pam.

 

Much chatter and putting the world to rights, plus a few yawns and I was the 

first to depart. I had a strong tail wind so headed directly along the A30 at a 

blistering speed (for me that is), and home quicker than expected. 

A good day on the bike apart from the closeure  of lovely, quirky GC. Thank  

you all for joining the ride and to Simon for back marking.
