17/01/2016 A ride down to PC World and back (with a bloody wait in the cold as the Weybridge store opens late)

Sunday, January 17th, 2016

Went out for a morning ride to PC World to get a USB hub

Rode up Hanger Hill to the station then down Brooklands Road to the A245

Turned right and rode to the next roundabout where I turned right

Went past Tesco to PC World and kicked my heels for half an hour in the cold – why’s that branch opening later than woking ?

When I came out I rode past the Heights to Brooklands Road

Ascended to the station and returned home down Hanger Hill

Went out for an evening ride taking advantage of no rain
