Today the CTC abbreviation means "Café to Café" with no less than 5 stops.
The first was at Café St. Germain reached via lower Sutton,Mill Lane Carshalton,Beddington Park and the ever so slightly steep Spa Hill,Upper Norwood.
As ever Dave & Don were already tucking in to something cooked,Stephanie settled for scrambled egg whilst the leader had a modest cappuccino £1.75.
Just Jeff heading home whilst we continued north via the delightful Turney Road,Dulwich & the cycle path that leads up to Champion Hill.
Still northerly :Camberwell Grove to Walworth and the cycle route that by-passes Elephant & Castle to pick up Cycle Super Highway 7 (CS7).
Southwark Bridge still going north to Guildhall then the back doubles around the Barbican to emerge at LMNH in Old Street (pic).
It was just after midday so just liquid refreshment here but I did "borrow" some oil to lubricate a dry chain.
A cyclist's café/workshop in relaxed surroundings it was a case of spot the "non-cyclist", plenty of memorabilia around and references to the TDF being shown on a big screen (pic).
We turned East and were shortly in Victoria Park where we picked up the canal leading to the Greenway and the Olympic 2012 site.
I didn't expect to see Simon Legg & about 20 of his ACF pals enjoying lunch but we had a nice chat all the same.
The queue in the ViewTube café was slow moving so we decided to move on and ended up at Three Mills House café,Bromley by Bow (pic).
Very reasonably priced cream tea (£1.90) and freshly made sandwiches for the starving.
The House Mill is believed to be the largest tidal mill still in existence in the world originally built in 1776.
Leaving the 4th café,it was directly south to pick up the CS3 to Tower Gateway and CS7 to tea on Clapham Common.
In this video,watch the car at the top waiting at the lights.........cyclist seems unharmed..........amazing!
