You are invited to join the B group ride on Wednesday 27 August when we will be going into what for me, and I suspect most of us, is new territory.
We will be following a brand new route, park-hopping and woodland-trailing through urban South London, lunching close to Eltham Palace, and returning over Blackheath and common-hopping back to Wimbledon.
39 miles in all and the only significant hills are those to get to elevenses before we start, and Wimbledon at the finish.
We will be aiming for a slightly earlier start than usual because an urban mile can take longer than a country mile. Elevenses at Banstead Community Centre, lunch at the Park Tavern in Eltham, tea in Wimbledon (we aim for the Windmill but will divert to Wimbledon Village if we are not going to make the Windmill in time for a comfortable stop).
If 20 miles to lunch is enough for you, we pass Eltham station shortly after lunch in time to get a train into town and out gain before the rush hour bike restrictions.
I will publish the route with the order of play on Tuesday. Meanwhile, those interested please let me know by Monday night at paulandrewjames1949@yahoo.co.uk
