Sunday 28th June 2015. Long Ride. I take the lead, followed by Iain MacDonald, Cliff Jones and John Hare. Our first climb is to Harefield, the second one is over the M25 at Horn Hill. It's not my fault if my GPS keeps finding hills. The welcome rain that has started is now becoming heavier by the time we reach Costa Coffee at Chalfont St Giles. John leaves us after our pit stop. The remaining three of us continue across country to our lunch stop at The Crown Inn at Penn. There is quite an extensive menu here, but we do have to wait a fair while for the food, which fortunately is worth the wait. At least the rain has stopped now, and it's back to Denham Church via Beaconsfield and Burnham Beeches. No Loiterers here, apart from us. A lady who is serving tea is also in training for a charity ride in France. Eighty miles a day she reckons she will have to do. Wonder if she means Kilometres. That would mean a more manageable 50 miles per day. Good luck to her anyway. Regards Bernie G
