A new route today. South Hill Park to Binfield was the official route of 13 miles, but from home, ended up 25 miles for me. Leader today was Carole, assisted by Susie and also Jill.

I cycled over to Finchampstead, joined up with Carole, Kay, Jackie and Carol. Then we met up with most others in Crowthorne, finally all meeting at South Hill Park. Great to see Chris back out with us after many weeks resting up with a broken collar bone. New lady Denise also joined us today.

After Southill Park, we wiggled around Bracknell on cycle lanes, cutting back through Wooden hill, then through the back of Easthampstead Park and Downshire Golf Course.

Next we appeared in Jennets Park and then crossed over a footbridge across the A329. A handy cycle groove meant we pushed out bikes over with ease.

We then cut through near the John Nike ski centre, and through the industrial park, finally down Jock's Lane across the Binfield. Then a mile or so off road, before we re appeared on Forrest Road. The desination...... Crema Coffee in Binfield. Very nice. There were 13 of us today, so some sat on the 6 chairs outside and otheres inside.
I had ridden 20 miles by now, so decided to head for home instead of back through Bracknell, down Binfield Road, and across Cantley Park.
