The weather was grey and threatening with lots of puddles on the road, but the rain held off and Clive led us on a pleasant excursion into rural Hillingdon. (Photos by Mary Ann Hooper)

The Ruislip Lido cafe was closed, so we re-fuelled in Ruislip at this very nice, good value Polish cafe. Worth another visit.

Potter Street in Northwood is always a hard slog, but Gill was steaming along so fast that the photographer couldn't take the photo quickly enough!

We made it to the top and stop for a well-earned rest.

We continued along the top of Oxhey Wood and then freewheeled down to South Oxhey and back to Watford.
