Join the 'A' Group Ride from Teddington on Weds 31 Jan 2024

Just for a change on Wednesday 31 January the 'A's' will be setting off south-eastwards from the Elleray Hall, bound for lunch at The Sir Julian Huxley (Wetherspoons, but quite a nice one) at Selsdon.  Don't be put off if this sounds a bit urban and gritty as much of the 18-mile outbound route is on pleasant, mud-free cycle paths and through parks, and we will actually only pass two industrial estates, honest!    Another 13 miles, mainly on quieter, but often undulating, residential roads will take us back to tea at Horton Arts Centre, Epsom.   Not exactly a flat route but overall probably still a bit less hilly than a typical 'A' group ride.    

If you would like to join the ride please e-mail me at cycledave23@gmail.com by 5.00 pm on Monday 29 January.   If more convenient for you, you can ask to join the ride at either New Malden station or Arthur Road, Motspur Park instead of Teddington. The return route also passes through Sutton, Cheam and Ewell if you would like leave to leave the ride before tea.

A willing volunteer(s) to co-lead from .gpx (plus supplementary guidance I will provide) would be more than welcome.    Failing this, I'll deal with requests to join the ride in the order received and if there are more than about nine I'll start a second group which will need to make its own arrangements to follow the route https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/245077149  from .gpx.

(Just for the record, I'm aware the first para above is in larger font than the others but am unable to change it as the post appears to have got corrupted)!
