Sunday 9th October. A bright Sunny day, with 1 late booking, saw 16 Cyclists leave New Malden via Motspur park- with a momentary loss of logic by our leader, entailing the use of the Footbridge, only to find the Level crossing works had left space for pedestrians to walk past the worksite-, North Cheam, Sutton, Carshalton Beeches, Oaks Park, Woodmansterne, -joined by 1 more-, Chipstead -joined by yet 1 more now 18 in total-, Hooley, Chaldon, Brewer Street, Bletchingley, to Godstone for lunch at the ‘Flower Farm Cafe’- the second idiotic move by the Leader, leaving his Jacket behind, happily we hadn’t gone too far-, a climb to the head of the very Scenic Woldingham Valley (Photo), Manor Park, Whyteleafe, Kenley, Purley, South Croydon, Waddon, Wallington, Carshalton to ‘the Grove’, for Tea & Bread pudding at Sassis (a bijou Cafe, very friendly staff), a brief stretch of the Wandle trail, St Hellier, Lower Morden, Motspur park, to finish back in New Malden. Total 41 Miles, 1 new face, thanks to John E for back marking, thanks to Bai for standing ready as a group leader. Map:- www.plotaroute.com/route/1484198
