I crossed the road and carried on past Send and on to the edge of Sutton Place where the surface was a swine to ride – sand on compacted dried mud – slippery as hell

Looking at the clouds and the time I decided to about turn and ride back

This time I joined the road by the Priory and rode past Pyrford, Woking, and West Byfleet to reach Byfleet

Here I turned towards Tescos but rode through the Heights to the Brooklands Road
