Dave Brown eschewed (what a nobby word!) his Ace Cafe rides and opted instead for a run to Cookham. The Rocker Gods were not pleased and ensured that he had a puncture on the way to Uxbridge, resulting in a slightly delayed start. Cocking a snoot at the Rocker Gods seven of us elected to follow him. We had only covered half a mile or so when the Gods directed their displeasure at Jim forcing him to pull out with chain problems. We continued on to Burnham Beeches for morning coffee then headed on to the lunch stop - the King's Arms. This time the Gods picked on Lilian by snapping her gear cable - trapping her on the middle cog with all those hills to come after lunch. Jim suddenly appeared - having had his bike fixed at Recycle a Bike, he peddled like a bat out of hell (do bats peddle?) to join us for lunch. The Gods were well cheesed off with this and ensured that when he came out after lunch, he was greeted by a flat tyre. Flat tyre fixed we head back partly along route 50 (very nice but quite a few gates) to arrive at Farnham for tea. From there the group headed back dispersing along the way.
A great day out with Dave.
Lesson learnt: Don't give the Rocker Gods the hump.
