September 28th - Short ride to Nork & Banstead

The short ride this week was due to head to tea at Banstead, via Nork - some up, some along and then some glorious down, following the official route for most of the way but avoiding the track near Nork Park. Here Paul kindly took over for the diversion, and also, as the cafe in Lady Neville Rec is still closed, led us to The Lodge cafe in Tattenham Way Rec instead, which was just delightful. Moreover, the garden was warm and sunny, and we could sit outside with our drinks, cakes and bikes.

One more short diversion, this time to the viewpoint, which 60% of us had not seen before, and we were on our way through the back streets of Banstead to start our descent. Paul and Maggie left us before Belmont, and I parted ways with Paul and Colin as we reached the outskirts of Nonsuch once more. 

The Viewpoint

An enjoyable ride on the last Saturday in September.
