Saturday provided ideal cycling weather and there was a healthy attendance at Nonsuch Park. Healthy in more ways than one; it is great to see Tony back riding and with Nigel cleared by the medics to ride, the availability of leaders is at last improving a little.
Steve W arrived and took five to Richmond Park on the scheduled longer ride. Lynda turned up for the first time in a long while and she went with Colin Q and John B on a short ride. I offered a fairly short ride up to Banstead and had seven takers, so Maggie and I set off with Steve H, the other Colin, Sue B, Tony, Nigel and Jennie, up what used to feel, when I first came to the club, like the never-ending climb past Cheam Station and Banstead Station. We took a vote, tea indoors (Banstead) or out (Tattenham Road Rec) and the indoors had it, so we made our way to the Cafe in the Park, which used to be Pistachio's.
The chocolate brownies were a hit and we chatted a bit before we descended past the prisons and split up at Downs Road.
A nice group, a pleasant little ride; thanks for the company.
