From Karen
Church Heritage Day and "light" showers:
It was an ideal opportunity to road test my lower back on a (very) short ride to Old Malden. Colin was (of course) already in attendance when I arrived at NSP, shortly to be joined by Tony and Sharon.It was great to see Tony on good form and that Colin's recovery continues apace. So just four of us this afternoon, trumped by Maddie's all-day ride to Windsor. I was forewarned about the resurfaced (?) path leading to Sparrow Farm exit. Goodness! It was akin to cycling through sand.....probably worse.It may have been responsible for what happened next. By the time we turned into St Clair Drive, Sharon had a flat. Fortunately, we had the benefit of seasoned campaigners to wrestle with the tyre removal and before long were powering through Worcester Park. Sharon kindly treated us to refreshments at St John's Church in thanks for our assistance (although I was more of a hindrance than a help!)
Colin (or providence?) led us to St Mary's Church where, immediately upon our arrival, the heavens opened; not a light shower, but a full throttle downpour. We resisted the temptation to indulge in more tea and cake and, once the weather had cleared somewhat, we made our way back to NSP, followed by rainbows.
