The leader of Saturday's ride from Beddington Park blatantly misappropriated the riders at his disposal by taking them to Kingston in order to taste the coffee and pastries on offer at l'assiggino in Park Road, Kingston.
He had first devised the ride to provide a flat(tish) ride that did not involve the River Wandle - just for a welcome change. In the event, however, the convalescent regular could not attend because she had gone to the bike shop for a puncture repair and they had fitted a faulty inner tube.
So there were five of us who set out to cycle via Sutton, North Cheam and Worcester Park to New Malden and then meandered west through the maze that is Kingston, to get to Park road.
L'assaggino was not a disappointment, the weather stayed reasonable, if a little colder than the BBC had promised and we covered nearly 40km (my door-to-door); a success.
It was Anna's idea to take a photo pretty near the start. just in case we would otherwise forget, so we took this one outside my house
