Latest long ride, Sunday 24th May 2015. I take the lead. Followers are John MacMillan and John Hare. Off we go south to Cowley, then Palmers Moor Lane-Coppins Lane to Iver. Down Mansion Lane through Colnbrook to Datchet Water Sailing Club for elevenses. It's a green flag day, which I believe means no sailing restrictions. After tea/coffee and the odd chocky bar we head through Horton, Wraysbury and Staines. At some point John H leaves us. Certainly by the time we reach the Thames path it's just John M and me. The pace slows as we negotiate dogs, pedestrians etc. Finally we reach Chertsey and Twynersh pub. A man on a ciggie break tells us that the place is temporarily closed because their water supply has been turned off for some reason. He redirects us to the nearest pub which is The Golden Grove. After lunch we meander past Virginia Water and through Wentworth golf club grounds; not the greatest plan as there is a major tournament in progress. After passing hoards of spectators, officials etc we end up at Windsor Great Park where we have refreshments at The Post Office. We return through Windsor and Eton. John leaves me at Slough and I return to Iver along R61. Weather cloudy but warm, with outbreaks of rain from mid afternoon. Regards Bernie G
