One would think my repertoire of short routes is very limited, as I think this was my 3rd consecutive time of leading to Malden Church - a route title which confuses people no end, as actually we have tea at Costa in World of Golf and only pass by the Church if someone in the group hasn't seen it yet.....surprisingly, there's always at least one!
Anyway, on a cold but beautifully sunny March day, 7 riders gathered for the shorter ride, the longer ride having left already as they do in winter time. We followed the route at a steady pace, with just one deviation around St Joseph playing field to avoid any muddy puddles. It was such a nice day that we were able to sit outside for drinks and cakes.
Once away from the traffic coming off the A3, the return home through the quiet backstreets of Old Malden and Stoneleigh was equally uneventful, with riders beginning to peel off as we neared Nonsuch Park. The spring flowers and early blossom were wonderful to see. Thanks all for coming out and making it a lovely social afternoon.
