Ride Report - Sunday 11 January 2026

 


It was a dull and cold start, and rain was forecast for later, but, undeterred, Simon, Keith, Lorraine, Terry, Clive and I met for elevenses at Leatherhead Wetherspoons, our first visit there for some time.

We lingered in the warm but eventually dragged ourselves back outside, by which time light rain had begun.    Keith, Simon, Clive and I continued to Pinnocks at Ripley via one of my more 'eclectic routes' (perhaps they would seem better ridden on an eclectic bicycle)?   Anyway, we took in the new Wisley Bridge, and the recently re-opened link to it from Elm Lane.   Then I went a 'bit loopy', and there were mutterings in the ranks, so I got us back on the straight and narrow!

Pinnocks was busy, but once the queuing bit was done, service was surprisingly efficient.   The rain, which had fizzled out during our ride from Leatherhead, had set in with renewed vigour while we were having lunch, and we went our separate, damp ways!

Thanks all for your company, and for putting up with it all!
