Today was the last ride for Stefano before he has to go back to Italy. We had hoped to do more rides with him but events had overtaken us. We were either Racing, in Ibiza or racing!
Today was to be a steady ride for the legs after yesterday's ride to Cripplegate lake. and it was :) We rode over past Shere to see the church that was used in 'Bridget Jones' and the field where 'Holiday was filmed' then over too Chilworth Manor where the 'Wedding Date' was filmed. Then up to St Martha's Church that featured in 'Canterbury Tales' (doing a bit of research shows lots of things have)
We talked quite a lot about British culture and Stefano felt that we have an inability to state a simple yes or no in answer to any question. We decided that this was true, well....definitely maybe :) He also learned that you can put 'ish' on the end of any word :)
Then back across the North Downs, where we rode the 'Soup bowl of Death' together and then stopped to help a road rider who'd ripped his rear tyre. We gave him some sticky tape and an energy bar wrapper to plug the gap. I asked what event he was doing and he said the 'South Western Spring Onion' doh! I was wearing my swrc top at the time :)
I told Stefano that next year I will put together a 'what appeared in a film' ride :)

Raymond sounds to me like you are sussing out the 'Churches' in the area does this mean there are Wedding Bells immiment for you and Jane??
I will send you the wedding gift list.
It's at Moosecycles in Colliers Wood and all of the inexpensive things have gone.
:)
Knowing you pair I expect top of the wedding list would be 'New Bikes'!!
That almost makes it worth considering!
Some riders struggled in the event so thanks for getting one back on the road.
