26/07/2014 Walton, Staines Chertsey Loop and then the Hampton Court Loop

Saturday, July 26th, 2014

Went out for a morning ride on the racer, the aim being to get a decent ride in.

Rode down to Oatlands via Queens Road and St Georges Avenue

Dropped down Grotto Road then along Thames Street to Walton and crossed the bridge

Went through Shepperton and Laleham to Staines before riding in to Chertsey and picking up Green Lane

Went through Addlestone and New Haw before riding up Brooklands and down Hanger Hill to complete the first loop

Rode down Oatlands and picked up the A3050 to ride to Hampton Court and crossed the bridge

Started riding back and something didn’t feel right

Rode through Sunbury and had to stop, I had a puncture

I pushed the back back to Walton Bridge, up Oatlands and to home – a 4 mile walk, still it stopped the bum from hurting 🙂
