On the road;a meeting with Deanna

Deanna's close friend, Anthony Esgate, has written an affectionate memoir of Deanna and some of their shared cycling experiences. As it is rather long to include in full on the blog, I have placed a copy on Google Docs, where it can be read using the link below. He has also provided some photos of Deanna.

David Aylett has also written:
 

“Dawn and I met Deanna in the mid 1970’s when riding with the Family Section with our children. When all the children grew up and young families no longer joined our all day rides with us Deanna continued to join us on our Downland rides. When she was no longer able to ride, as part of her social life, she joined our coffee meets with us using her car.

At her funeral we learnt that in her early years of club riding Deanna enjoyed rides with the Cheam and Morden Section. More recently she enjoyed meeting the Midweek Wayfarers, particularly riding from her home to Cobham on the first Wednesday of every month. Deanna’s quiet and warm personality will be missed by the many friends she made over the years cycling with us. “
