25/04/2014 A ride from Walton to the weirs by Molesey Cricket Club

Sunday, May 25th, 2014

Yes I got Iren riding again !

After a battle getting the bikes on the car – jeez Iren’s bike is bloody awkward and heavy we drove to Walton Bridge

We unloaded the bikes and then rode along the towpath towards Hampton Court

The tow path was not exactly in the best of conditions for Iren – ie it was muddy but will all the recent rain that’s no surprise

At the Cricket Club we stopped for an ice cream before riding back – Hampton Bridge was too far for poor Iren

Eventually we arrived back at Walton Bridge and the car
