Eight green bottles........Beddington Saturday riders, 20 April

 

 

Showing prescience, Maggie had me take this photo before we set off............ 

Seven cold cyclists standing up straight.  One took the picture, along came another, and then there were eight.

Eight cold cyclists going for tea and bics.  Two couldn't start and then there were six

Six cold cyclists not got very far.  One felt ill, and another looked after him and then there were four.

Four eager cyclists got to tea and cake but coming back to Croydon for goodness' sake,

What a to-do!  Half turned for Purley and then there were two.

Paul took the photo, Pinky, a surprise but very welcome guest, arrived late.

Kim, an innocent passer-by enticed by Maggie to be a potential recruit, and Ray, recovering from his op, could not come with us.

Ken was not feeling well and it was jolly cold.  We had not reached Purley Way when Maggie took him home.

Colin and Paul and Pinky and Sharon had a nice, peaceful ride to Elmers End on a sunny day with a cold wind, where they enjoyed good coffee and lovely cake.  Lemon drizzle with orange, yum yum.

And Pinky and Sharon turned for home in South Croydon.

We all hope you are better soon, Ken
