Relive the ride at:- https://www.relive.cc/view/g12416511907 On what turned out to be the hottest day of the year so far four loiterers followed Alec out of Uxbridge towards Iver meeting Lawrie on the way. We made our way to The Black Horse at Dedworth stopping for refreshments at Nibbles in Datchet, and it was getting warmer. Lunch at the Black Horse was taken in a shady part of the garden with some banter with the locals after which Lawrie elected to return straight home while we continued towards Fifield in the increasing heat which necessitated stopping at the Red Lion for liquid replenishment. Continuing the ride we crossed the Thames and passed Dorney rowing lake and followed the river downstream to Eton for more liquid at The Waterman’s Arms where more liquid was deemed necessary before continuing homeward stopping at The Red Lion for more liquid. On the last leg home Jim’s read derailleur failed so I headed straight home to collect the car to deliver his bike home. A good ride in great company, a bit of a pub crawl but in this weather we need to keep up our liquid intake and I read somewhere that beer is 95 to 97% water, that’s my story and I believe it!
