The weather forecast was not promising but but six hardy souls followed John out of Uxbridge.
We made the first stop at Gibtels in Colnbrook without getting wet.
Showers were the order for the rest of the day as we made our through Datchet to Old Windsor Lock on the Thames and on along the towpath to Runnymede. A short stretch of road and it was back along the river into Staines and Lunch at the George PH where we were joined by the Long Ride.
After lunch, consumed indoors while the sun shone outside, John, after fixing a puncture, led us alongside Staines and Stanwell Moors, and the M25, to Harmondsworth Moor and the afternoon break at The Five Bells.
We returned home via West Drayton and a path disclosed by Don to Hillingdon where the group dispersed.
