Wednesday 10th Feb 2016. Medium Ride. There are no takers for my long ride today, so I tag along with the medium ride led by Steve Cull. Thirteen of us head west out of Uxbridge: Steve Cull, Gill Peter, Liliane Rausch, Jean Gates, Sally Eaton, Alan Potter, Alan Buchanan, Geoff Clegg, Colin Farquar, John MacMillan, John Woodford, Jim Hayes and myself. Gill leaves us at Denham Mount, the rest of us continue to our refreshment stop at Budgens, Chalfont St Peter. We are joined by Terry Grey. It's quite a long elevenses due in part to the size of the group plus we have to take it in turns for the loo. Colin leaves us as we climb Gold Hill. We descend Welders Lane and continue past Knotty Green to our lunch stop at The Harte and Magpies, Coleshill. We are down to twelve now as John Mac has left for a hospital appointment. After lunch we return through Chalfont St Giles and Gerrards Cross. The tea stop is at The Ugly Duckling pub, Denham. This is where I leave the group. Apart from some early rain it is a dry day, but chilly. Steve has done this route before, but it's new to me and I've learnt some new short cuts. Regards Bernie G.
