Most elected to follow Godfrey to Esher and I led the remainder to Oaks Park, where Colin joined us from Beddington Park. I noticed two new custom built electric bikes to add to Anna's and it was good to welcome Gillian back after a longish absence.
On the subject of electric assisted bikes I was told that it's best to get them custom made, rather than have a battery fitted on the pannier rack as can be done. Apparently the latter method puts strains on the frame that it is not designed to cope with, needing regular repairs. I suspect we will see more of these bikes as time goes on and the technology improves.
On the way up to Banstead and into a strengthening headwind, a flowering daffodil was spotted by the roadside.
After the tea stop it was all downhill with the following wind. Most peeled off and only three were left by the time we returned to Nonsuch.
Thanks to Brian for back marking.
