It's not been a good month for cycling weather. 8 set off from the
library on Sunday's ride to Richmond but after a morning break at
Merton Abbey Mills, the skies opened up once more. 3 riders fancied a
longer ride and broke off at Richmond Park whilst the remainder headed
to the White Cross for the annual SW Cyclists Christmas lunch.

It wasn't as busy this year. Perhaps the weather was a factor but
maybe it's also time for a change. We might do our own event next
year.

The leader sustained 3 punctures on the way home. Most riders peeled
off because of the weather with no one needing to return to Pollards
Hill.

Next week's ride heads north using the best road route to Westminster
and passes the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace on the way
to Hyde Park for the Winter Wonderland event. It's attracting big
crowds so we'll probably camp up at the quiet lido cafe where you can
get a decent plate of food and a drink. There's a bar with mulled wine
at the event which means there's an option to ride down or just stay
put. Once everyone is ready, we'll head to the Wandle Trail for the
scenic route home.
