The club secretary issues an official statement:
Steve led Gerry, Jane, Liliane, Sally, Alec, Cliff, Jim H, John J, John W, Ray, Stephen T, and me out of Uxbridge to 11’s at the San Remo Café, Northala Park.
We left the park and rode along the side of the A40 to Perivale and through Pitshanger Pareto Ealing and Walpole Park to Kew Green and lunch at The Greyhound.
After lunch we traveled along the Thames to the National Archive before heading to to Richmond to cross the river at the half tide lock. We continued past Twickenham Stadium and across Hounslow Heath to refreshments at Moniz Café, Cranford after which we headed home via Harmondsworth and Sipson to Hillingdon where the group dispersed.
However an anonymous source has leaked the following information.
Number of loiterers lost on ride = 2 (one not found)
Number of loiterers injured = 3
Number of steps that bikes had to be carried up = 257 (approx)
Number of solicitors approached by the above = 1 (Money For Old Rope Solicitors)
Number of nobby lectures attempted by ride leader = 2 (howled down)
Number of punctures = 1 (NOT Jim, we repeat NOT Jim)
Question of the Day "Has anyone seen Cliff?"
