Rides for Everybody Saturday, September 19th : Richmond to Bush Park

Meet: Richmond, Little Green, by Library at 10.30am

Description: From Richmond to Teddington and back avoiding most of the traffic. A new visitors centre should be open for coffee but we may have to view the restored 18th century water gardens over the fence as the opening is delayed. 11 miles but flattish.

In the event four of us did the ride of whom 3 had come from/through Teddington. We did need to view the Water Gardens over the fence (Opening 1st October) but Susan had a fund of information on the Upper Lodge complex. The visitors centre had excellent coffee (eventually) and a clear demonstration of where NOT to site cycle stands (hidden behind a wall!)
