It's a cold Sunday morning. There are six takers for my long ride, which is better than the zero I managed for my last scheduled ride. Geoff Clegg, Paul Ashby, John Owen, Tony Hopkins, Steve Ingall, and John Hare follow me out of Uxbridge. With at least two riders claiming they haven't ridden a bike for months, I expect to be out in front by the time we reach the top of Chandlers Hill. Not a bit of it, I can't even stop for a breather at the bus stop they are so keen to go on. We do have the benefit of a stiff following breeze all the way, and the good weather has brought out other club cyclists which temporarily increase our numbers, confusing me no end. We soon reach Sainsbury's at Slough, our morning coffee stop. Having left my Nectar card behind, I won't be able to earn a third of a penny in points on my purchase, This is a matter of great concern to any miser like myself. We are joined by couple of Tony's cycling friends as we sip our refreshments. Continuing our journey through Eton College grounds, Oakley Green and Drift Road, we arrive at Oak Tree Garden Centre for lunch. The homeward route is the reverse of the outward one as far as Fifield, against what is now a stiff head wind. Past Monkey Island, Dorney and Eton Wick, we turn off the main road, towards the Jubilee River. Somehow Paul and John get separated from us near Slough Rugby club on Route 61. A quick phone call establishes their whereabouts. Our final pit stop is Iver Golf Club from where we disperse. That's all folks Bernie G.
