Escaping a narrow boat

Last week saw an eventful little family holiday in a narrow boat up and down the rivers Wey and Thames. The weather was poor and wet and despite the attraction of a couple of persons going overboard during the week, I had bad cabin fever by the second day. Fortunately I had bought my bike and on a couple of days was able to escape for some riding. On one of those days did a decent loop which involved Box Hill again and a section of the route for the fortcoming men's Olympic road race, ending up with a well earned pint by the Thames at Chertsey.
