| A frosty start to the day |
Keeping off of main roads as much as we could, we took parks roads and tracks to Barnes and over Hammersmith Bridge. At present you need to dismount and walk across, but on a bright if cold morning that is not too much of a hardship, then cycle tracks around Hammersmith and along past Olympia and Kensington High Street.

Past the Kensington Palace, stopping for a picture oppotunity we used some back streets to cross the Vauxhall Bridge from north to south, Here again using cycle tracks it was a short distance along the Nine Elms Lane to the pub for lunch, eighteen miles.

Whilst not having the largest of menus for refreshments, once the kitchen had worked out a system the food did arrive and was much appreciated. After lunch we rode the very short distance to the Power Station for another photo, and a chance for those that wanted to have a look inside.
We left this and using back roads and the Common to Wandsworth, then we moved onto more major roads, again with cycle tracks to Wimbledon and Raynes Park where we were able to use the fairly new C31, thanks Steph, and eventually into Kingston and the afternoon tea stop. Whilst obviously some decided to return home before the café, a large number, double figures, gave it a try and I think enjoyed L'assaggino and what they had to offer.
Particular thanks to Paul Day for back marking Jennie’s group and to Fixie Dave for the same in David’s group.
We think everyone appeared to enjoy the day and having a different type of ride.
Thanks to all
Jennie and David Jackson

I hope you all did the quiz - how many bricks in Battersea Power Station?
