Well, it's nearly the solstice when this ride takes place...
With all the other South West London LCC groups meeting at the Roebuck for a drink and chat, who are we to argue that that's not worthwhile? We'll pootle about for an hour or so and then head for the pub and a drink and chat. Don't fancy the ride? Meet at the pub around 20:00.
Date: Wednesday 18th June
Meet Time: 19:00

A Ride For All Seasons
Woke up to a blanket of snow, and immediately thought about going back to sleep, but remembered oh no, it’s RCC ride day! Went to meeting point and hoped no one would turn up, but there were 3 hardy individuals, including me, all fired up with enthusiasm. It was still snowing when we set off and continued for a while. We went past Henry VIII’s palace at Hanworth, which he gave to Anne Boleyn when she was still in favour. From there we continued northwards, and the thought that struck me was that the weather was actually very suitable, as even Feltham looks pretty in the snow.
A tour around the perimeter road on the eastern side of the airport then took us to the “lost” villages, Sipson and Harmondsworth, which will be demolished if the 3rd Heathrow runway is built. Harmondsworth in particular is very pretty, with a quaint square, complete with cottages, pub and church, and this is where we had the hailstones. We continued through Harmondsworth Moor country park, sandwiched between the M4 and the M25 which was beautiful, especially in the snow.
We continued round to the new terminal 5 which has only been open for 2 weeks, and decided to pop in for lunch. The cycle provision is not very good, hardly any cycle routes and no bike parking that we could find. We parked in the motor cycle area, then warmed up in the terminal, and had coffee, cake and soup, which was very welcome. We could watch the planes arriving from the café.
For the journey back to Twickenham, the skies cleared and the sun came out. We saw a woodpecker hammering to build his nest in
