" Wandle Fortnight is a celebration of the Wandle Valley run by the community for the community. " Every year our Wandle ride from Beddington Park is one of the highlights but so often we have no new takers. But this year waiting at Pavilion cafe were four new faces. We were very happy to welcome Simon and his wife Sharon and work colleagues Louise and Gary.
Colin led us down one of the scenic routes out of the park towards the industrial estate of Beddington Lane. The new cycle track is a joy but the few steps up to the Asda car park were not for the heavier bikes! We then made our way through pot holes to cross the tram line at Ampere Way and then cycle along the wide pavement beside Mitcham Common, through Figs Marsh and across the busy junction at Colliers Wood . However, our pedestrianised route was becoming a jungle and dismounting our bikes we fought our way through the foliage to arrive at MED cafe for a well earned break.
Morden Hall Park
Our return route took us into Morden Hall Park, Raynesbury Park and then onto the Wandle Trail. A good, flat, route for all. We hope to see the new cyclists again soon.
