Ten loiterers gathered in Uxbridge on a decidedly grey and windy morning. We all followed Lawrie out of Uxbridge on the much cycled route through Harmondsworth and Longford to a coffee break at Vermulen’s Garden Centre at Stanwell Moor.
After refreshments Chris K left us and we carried on through Staines, across Shortwood Common and through Fordbridge Park, where Bernie left us, en route to Laleham and our lunch stop at The Feathers.
After lunch we followed the Thames Path back through Staines then the track alongside the M25 on the way to Colnbrook where Andy headed of to home in Chiswick. The remainder of the party continued on to a tea stop at Thorney Park Golf Club before heading back to Uxbridge via Cowley.
A nice ride in spite of the gusty wind and the forecast rain thankfully did not fall.
