I wasn't expecting to do this ride until the end of this month but I got a call from DT on Friday evening asking me to cover as he was in Anglesey.
6 riders departed Uxbridge with me. Lilo, Noel, Bob, John Mac, Robert & Bernie. At our first stop at Amersham I phoned the Whip Inn to see if they could accommodate us they asked us to get there early. With this in mind we set off at a good pace but unfortunately Noel's bike sustained a puncture at Little Missenden.
After a speedy swap of inner tubes we were off passing through Great Missenden, Great Hamden and Loosley Row and got to the whip by 13:15.
After lunch we were just in the garden getting our bikes ready when the pub phoned me to say one of our party had forgotten to pay!
The guilty person went in and sorted it out.
Bernie had a few derailleur problems and got separated from the group but managed to re-join us in the Hughenden valley. There was a minor car collision on a narrow track which I missed.
The rain started around 3PM we got to Denham church via the Chalfonts to find no sign of any teas or cakes being served.
A good day out with plenty of hills and great views.
