Thank you for everyone who turned out this week to be part of any one of our three rides. We were very fortunate with the excellent weather and a quiet route that was almost mud-free. Apologies that there was only one LCDP to see and in fact it was one that we had seen last week.
Thank you to Tim and Tony who kindly sub-led and for my group who made it so easy for me as the leader.
Several regular B riders had to drop out and I wish them a speedy recovery so that they can enjoy Christmas and get out on their bikes again next week.

| Latter day Coal Duty Post in Ashtead Common |
After last week's feast of discoveries for anyone interested at all in the London Coal Duty Posts which can pop up in unexpected places around London today's ride was quite a disappointment for the Wayfarers' Grand Master of this esoteric hobby. However Dave managed to capture this fine specimen of a potential new species of LCDP, surrounded by a gleeful congregation of devotees.

I did enjoy leading out the 10.45 group from Teddington on John’s well planned December ride to Epsom.
The weather for this time of year was ok for cycling and all went well, but unfortunately no Coal Duty posts were spotted, but we did bump into Emily Davison in Epsom.
The Wetherspoon's lunch was up to the usual standard.
Thanks to Ray for back marking and I would like to wish you all a Very Happy Christmas 🎄 🎄🎅🏻🍷🍷

The bridge in Horton Country Park. Tony gave us a bit of history about the train that travelled over it and between the mental hospitals that occupied this site.
