A summer of cold and torrential downpours, then crazy overcorrection on the meteorological steering wheel took us into a two-day heatwave; we were fortunate that Saturday was ideal cycling weather, dry and warm enough but refreshing.
Nine of us turned up at Beddington Park; Maggie and I, Ken, Colin, Anna, Roger, Paul and Rufus.
We went for a spin to Elmers End through South Norwood park, where I was at first thrilled that they had made up the muddy path around South Norwood Lakes. It didn't take long to realise that the broken glass amid the cinder was not the work of some vandal but of the local Authority. For Goodness' sake, who makes a bicycle path out of pieces of glass?
We all survived without a puncture and had a nice coffee in Branching Out at Elmers End, where Rufus managed to take a selfie of everybody except his grandad!
A pleasant afternoon, without proof that I was ever there.
