Seven of us followed Jim S. on his Sunday long ride to the Watermans Arms in Eton via Maidenhead. The ride started badly when we found that the cut through into Willets Lane by the M40 was blocked with concrete slabs. An attempt to get onto the parallel road resulted in two fearsome robots springing into action declaring in a strong Northern Irish accent that our presence had been detected and that our photographs had been taken (I wish I had had the presence (no play on words intended) of mind to photograph the electronic blighters. That route blocked, we headed off down the A40. Plenty of off road during the day and although the promised rain never happened our bikes were covered in mud. Jim and I bailed out in Cowley when Swany wanted a last bit of off road in Little Britain and went into the Waterside Arms for a cheeky half instead - a far better idea.
A great day out with Jim S and a non traditional route to Windsor/Eton and Iver Golf Club (which didn't happen in the end.
Question of the Day. "Will there be a complimentary bike wash Jim?"
Answer of the Day. "No"
