Most started from Syon park with a few coming from Cafe Nero Ealing Ruth was leading to Painshill park but a puncture delayed the group and it fragmented. All back together for 11’s at Painshill. After 11’s the group again fragmented as I needed to be home early, so Sav, Martina and myself headed for Ripley for lunch at Pinnock's which we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the Sun. Then off to West Byfleet, Addlestone, Weybridge, Walton Bridge and to at the Walled garden lower Sunbury. After which we had a brief stop at Hampton hill for Sav to buy sausages then back to Syn park for dispersal. A nice 44 miles in the Sun. Lunch at Pinnock's, Ripley. Tony..

Hi Remainers What a fabulous ride to Sniggles (Nibbles) Café in Datchet Lets make all efforts to attend this Friday to show appreciation to the few individuals who administrate, organise, plot routes and lead rides for you all to enjoy. Attending the rides is a means of thanking the above mentioned riders who carry out the behind the scenes work to keep the EFR operating in such a smooth manner Some on the remainers list still have not attended a ride this year, as yet. So expecting another good turn out on Friday.....thanks al Ride summaries for the week Wednesday 06/09/17 The EWR cycled to Sunninghill lead by Tony H We stopped at a water ski centre in Thorpe and The Treacle Café in Sunninghill Ruth gave us a fashion show by trying on different glam frocks from the charity shop next door and parading in front of the customers siting outside the café.

Please meet us at Caffè Nero at 9:15 for the departure at 9:30. The second meeting point is at Syon Park at 10:00.

Rain forecast but very little materialised. Only 4 hardy rider surfaced at Cafe Nero, coffee and a late start. Waiting for the non show whimps. Chiggi led a speedy ride to Datchet and drizzle started so we ended up at Nibbles for sausage sanis and coffee. Oh and cake. A leisurely chat and the time flew by. Rain abated off we set for home, again Chiggi pushing the pace, I think she had ants in her pants as the pace was around  17/18 mph. A nice short ride given the weather forecast.

One of the three pubs, The Cock Inn which we were considering as our lunch stop will be closed tomorrow. So we will choose between our usual stop The Boot, or The Cricketers for a. change. See you tomorrow at 9:15 for the departure at 9:30. Chiggi
