Pam Jones

After lunch and still in Windsor, Pam was involved in a collision with another 'A' group rider, falling to the ground. She was taken to Wexham Park Hospital Slough, from where she text messaged Mike Morley "Shall be in hospital two days. Fractured pelvis and thirteen staples in head. I only remember cycling then lying on the ground. Will be in touch when I get home. Ta-ta for now. Pam"

Best wishes Pam. We all hope your recovery is as speedy as possible and that you are soon back with us. Mike

'C' Group ride

Real warm summer weather. Good turnout at Molesey including Tom, John H and Dennis.
The ride was led by Roger with Bill H., Dave, Harold (photos to come), Alan, Lynda, Bill and Pat M., Ron, John C and Geoff plus yours truly abd Fuzz. We took the road through E. Molesey to W. Molesey and then right around the reservoirs to Apps Court where we turned left to Walton. We went straight through the town to avoid a diversion for roadworks near the day centre, then over the bridge to lower Shepperton, Chertsey bridge, through Windsor Street and up Thorpe Road. We were a bit early so a right turn towards Thorpe Village then left towards Virginia Water and under the M26 brought us to our pleasent lunch at The Rose and Crown at Thorpe Green which is having quite a tart-up with extended outdoor dining arrangements but very good and quick service, After lunch Mark arrived and showed us how the hospital had got him wiref up to check his ticker. They did it to me many moons ago. At this stage I was only about three miles from home and the rest were going for tea at Hampton Court, so I came home-------------------Albert

Here we are with Part 2

I knew there would be a fair bit of standing water offroad so I stuck to the tarmac for my 11ml. ride to Kingston for elevenses. The weather was warm for February and there was a good turnout. Ron was down to lead but probably failed to get the change of venue. Harold took over followed by Beryl, Dave. Bill, Mark and your scribe. All went well until we entered Richmond Park where we experienced some pretty grotty mud most of which was unrideable. Beryl upbraided Harold who apologised abjectly but we still needed to get through and turned up at The Rose and Crown at Kew with dirty shoes. A very nice establishment near the river but rather in need of a change of both staff and prices, We made our way to Hampton Court for tea via Teddington and Bushy Park. Both Harold and myself suffered falls and I fear he is pretty bruised, For me it's to be expected anyway. I had a call from Harold re my welfare when I got home at 5.30 having covered 39miles. I will take the car to Leatherhead. Guess I'm getting too old!------------------------------Albert

Thanks, Albert Yes, Ron did fail to learn of the venue change and went to Claygate (along with about five others such as Geoff, Pat&Bill and John H). I've sent them a print-out of Wayfarers News (Part 1) along with their Sou'Wester, as compensation. Brian
