There was plenty of choice on the menu and having ordered we settled down to chat and observe the chickens, ducks and geese wandering around outside. I was expecting a contingent of Bognor and Chichester riders to turn up as this was also their destination today but there was no sign of them even once we'd finished our lunch and were setting off for the return journey.
No one fancied my slightly hilly return route so we retraced our outward journey which, although it felt slightly downhill on the way out, also managed to feel slightly downhill on the way back. How's this possible?
Anyway, arriving back at Horsham, everyone had enjoyed the ride and they were all still talking to me. We'd only clocked up 27 miles but I reckon it was just about perfect: nice weather, nice countryside and nice company - thanks everyone.
Next weeks ride will be another fairly easy one. We'll start from Three Bridges Station at 10:00hrs and head up to the Plough at Leigh for lunch. Hopefully the weather will be OK again and we'll have another enjoyable ride.
