Saturday 28 October ride to Willows Tea Rooms Barnham with leader’s Steve and Carol Woods.

We met for the start of the Ride at Bognor Library at the earlier Winter Start Time of 1.00pm.

Weather was dry and bright with a turnout of 21, with 2 new riders Guy and Jane. We decided to split the group in two, Steve leading the first group followed by Russ who lead the second group with Carol as the back marker keeping in contact with Steve via walkie talkies.

We left Bognor library heading towards King George Playing Field, Felpham to meet up with Graham. The large number of riders can be seen going into the distance in the picture as we went on the cyclepath round the Playing Field.

Following on to Comet corner where some lovely drivers let us all cross A259. Headed out to Bilsham and on to Yapton. Turned right in to Church lane at the end of the road turning right. Went over railway crossing turning left into Lake Lane, at the end of the road left, then under Barnham Railway Bridge.
