Group "B" - 16th December 2015 - Leatherhead to Wimbledon Common

On a relatively warm day for December, 18 cyclists left Leatherhead for Wimbledon Common via a route beloved by the late Pete Mitchell. We went through the side of Ashstead Common which was not as muddy as expected for an off-road at this time of the year.

The route took us past Hornton Park, Worcester Park, Old Malden then on to Raynes Park where we picked up John Gould at his home. John appreciated riding with us for the short distance to Wimbledon Common.

At the Hand-in-Hand 15 of us enjoyed a pleasant lunch served in good time. Because of the short days, there was no tea stop and we hope everybody returned home before it got dark.

Daniella (John Gould's daughter from Colorado Springs, USA), emailed her grateful thanks to the group for involving John in our ride.
