A beautiful sunny afternoon for us, following a very cloudy and overcast week, so we were very pleased to be out on our bikes this afternoon.
Godfrey lead out the beginners short ride. We headed across Nonsuch Park to gather at Sparrow Farm gate, all managed to get through the traffic lights and headed down towards Stoneleigh. We were soon in Ewell, heading along the Hogsmill river to follow the route through the conservation park, then left across the bridge to follow the Bonesgate river along to William IV pub. Here we crossed the busy road and entered the path through to Horton Country Park. It was really pleasant, very few muddy patches along the path and that glorious sunshine lighting our way through the lovely woodlands and fields.
The Old Moat always gives us a nice welcome and we love their proper cycle park, which keeps our bikes dry in less clement weather. Delicious cakes and tea enjoyed by all and a good chat while we rested.
We had a much shorter ride home, arriving back at about 4.30 pm. Thank you Godfrey for a very pleasant ride, and all for your good company.
