Story by Sandra A gorgeous frost had turned the world white this morning, and at a crisp 3 degrees it was not a day to be lingering. 10 of us headed out of Uxbridge via Chandlers Hill, Pinewood and Stoke Common to Costa Coffee, Farnham Common, which was surprisingly very busy. We managed to find spaces to sit and debated the merits of cheap and expensive coffee (drink tea was Jims wise suggestion). Ealing Friday Rider Alan headed home from here whilst nine of us meandered slowly down Parsonage Lane to Park Road where seven of us turned left and unfortunately two, Graham and Richard, turned right. Realising we were a couple short at Church Road we sent out search parties, but to no avail. Tony Hopkins took the opportunity to take a look at Greys Elegy whilst we waited for news. Finally confident in Grahams’ navigational abilities, we continued on our leisurely route, passing through Salt Hill Park, Herschels Park and Eton College to the Watermans Arms where Graham and Richard were already ensconced. Soup seemed the predominant order, although the reviews varied from gorgeous to dish water. I had the roast which was very nice. It was still sunny as we headed back via Eton College, Upton Park, Ditton Park and The Orchards Caravan Park to Iver Golf Club for tea. TC led the group back to Uxbridge whilst I made my way home through Langley Park and Black Park. Sandra 6 Parks and a New Puffing Stop, not bad for the last ride of 2013
