Lisa's inaugural stint as a Loiterer ride leader attracted nine followers for her long ride to Virginia Waters. Obviously a lot of planning and preparation had taken place because when we arrived at Wise Lane we discovered that Lisa had arranged for the council to relay the surface for us. Sadly, the job had not been completed on time and we had to push our bikes along the pavement. We arrived at our morning stop, Liquid Leisure, at a fair old pace resulting in John C electing to make his way to the lunch stop at his own more sedate pace. However, David B arrived to make the numbers up again. Lisa then led us to Virginia Waters via Staines and Egham (a welcome change from the usual route). Arriving at the Wheatsheaf, we were greeted with the news that lunch would take at least 45 minutes to be served. A suggestion by Margaret that we divert to the nearby but less used Bailiwick pub was agreed. Following a splendid lunch, Lisa guided us back via Windsor and Datchet to Iver where we stopped for coffee in Costa before dispersing. A great day out with Lisa on her faultlessly led first ride as leader.
Tramp of the Day: Jim Hayes.
Group Amnesia of the Day: We forgot that John C was making his way to the Wheatsheaf when we all beetled off to the Bailiwick - sorry John.
