DUMMY GPS TRACK AS ONCE AGAIN A RIDE STORY SUBMITTED BY BERNIE WITH NO GPS FILE - HE JUST DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE EXTRA WORK THAT I HAVE TO DO - GRUMPY WEBMASTER. Twelve of us leave Uxbridge towards Ickenham, Breakspear Rd and Harefield with me nominally leading, except for the hills. Passing Mount Vernon Hospital, we reach Rickmansworth Golf Club, via Moor Park. After refreshments, we head once more into the wind, along part of the Ebury Way towards Croxley Green. We enter Rousebarn Lane which is under water in a couple of places (so much for the Environment Agency flood map). After Chandler's Cross, we climb Buck Hill's Bottom, but he doesn't seem to mind. Soon we are at our lunch stop at Blackwells, Chipperfield, minus John O who has left us for parenting duties. Food is a long time coming, but it's a relatively large group and things would have been worse if we'd turn up after one. Cliff who has been quizzing me about how long it will take us to get home, and not being satisfied with my equivocations; makes his own way back from lunch. The rest of us head towards Flaunden and Chenies. Our homeward journey is punctuated by the need for comfort breaks. Is it the cold weather or that extra lunchtime pint, I wonder? By the North Orbital, we manage to lose three by design: Chris K, Lilo B and John Mac; and one by accident: Phil H, who has taken refuge in The Oaks. We are back in Uxbridge by dusk. A bright cold day, making a pleasant change from my usual drenchings. Cheers Bernie
