The One That Got Away

There's always something new to discover. Places escape you sometimes. Today we went in the opposite direction to our normal ride. Wiggling along the forest paths we ended up in  Wanstead Park. Its only about 3 miles from my house but I have never been. 

There are georgian cottages, a greco-roman folly and several lakes. And best of all...

... a tea hut. Serving tea in proper mugs and home made cakes - all at reasonable prices. Suitably fueled up for the return ride (with a detour to add a bit on) you can see that bikeshopnick approves and shows us the size of the fish he would have caught. And our matching Giant Anthems* are the perfect fit for the ride.

* Well, his is the newer model - hence the blue bits.
