| 26 turned out for the first
ride of the year, an impressive mix of old and new faces as well
as ages. An unsteady start led to the group being split by the time
we reached Haven Green but we soon re-grouped and took off to see
the Alms Houses in Acton before taking a leisurely route into west
London to see Freestonia. As usual we saw a side of London not normally
seen if you are in a car or tube. We continued into Holland Park
to see a hidden patch of green in the middle of London for a welcome
tea break and a chance to chat.
We then wove through more of west London before finding the Thames
and taking the river along Hammersmith and into Chiswick House.
The group divided into the usual subgroups of people wanting to
get home or stay longer for a late pub lunch.
Thanks to Brian and Phil for leading. |
