This Sunday's ride will begin from Wetherspoons (The Watchman), Fountain Roundabout, New Malden. You may remember that it was scheduled for earlier in the month but had to be postponed because of rail strikes.
The lunch stop is the Lodge Cafe, Decathlon, Canada Water. The route to lunch (about 13 miles) is an interesting and surprising cross section of south London, pretty much all on cycle paths of one sort or another, and takes in such magnificent sites as the Wombles' bench and Albert Square (no, not that one)!
Posters in Decathlon say that a till receipt will get you a 10% discount in the cafe so it may be worth doing your shopping first (after checking the small print), but remember that Decathlon only take card payments. There is limited cycle parking inside the store, but a goodish lock is still advised! Toilets in the basement.
After lunch the route https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/134333128 takes us on three more miles of quiet roads and cycle paths to Waterloo station, where carriages will await us, although it continues another eight or nine miles to Richmond Park for those who wish to cycle home.
