Mystery Ride Sept 10th




22 Riders assembled at North Cheam for Bob Starey’s mystery ride. A common talking point was what was the £2 we were asked to bring for? No 11s was stated a very interesting route had most people mistified . The river Wandle was identified , Tooting Bec Common, Clapham Common, The Oval Cricket Ground, and finally stopping at The London Fire Brigade Museum for a visit and the £2 now became obvious. A very interesting guided tour took nearly two hours leaving quite a few tummys gentle rumbling at the lack of 11s! On to a latish lunch at Tower Bridge Wetherspoons “Pommelers Arms”. After the Mystery intensified as we lost the leader within minutes of leaving but with the help of Harry & Frank we managed to pass The London Eye, Lambeth Bridge, Battersea Power Station, Chelsea Bridge, Battersea Park, Wandsworth Prison, Wandsworth Common, A Memorial to The Clapham Rail Disaster, Wmbledon Stadium, and on to tea at Abbey Mills Merton
