Sunday 21 August. Walberton Pond Start. Ride to Dragons Green.
9 of us started from the Pond led by Colin being myself, Colin, Tom, Steve Thomas, Chris, Steve and Bernie and newcomers Clive and Yvonne.

Weather was cloudy to start with but by eleven had cleared to a warm day with blue skies and occasional clouds.

Colin led us out via the Spur and Madehurst to Whiteways and then a good fast descent to Houghton. We continued via Amberley to stop for elevenses at Wiggonholt. Alan and Elizabeth joined us at Wiggonholt but made their own way to the Pub. Elizabeth has made her first Bike rides of any length this last week since breaking her arm but her speed is still limited.

The ride continued on a fairly direct route via Watery Lane and West Chiltington to arrive at the Pub at 12.01.

We returned by way of Ashington and then lanes via Warminghurst to Storrington, Parham Park and Amberley to stop for tea at Houghton Bridge Tea Rooms. This made for a pleasant stop in the Garden at the edge of the river with a couple of Swans begging for food. John Maxim met up with us at Houghton after being over to Trotton for Lunch.

On the return to Walberton the mileage from and back to the Pond was 42.5. My mileage from and back to Pagham was 63.
