Report:At last a ride without snow, rain, cold or head wind. Yay. None of us are yet over the excitement of riding with more than 1 other and it was just delightful to be able to catch-up . It was also good to have a quick catch-up with Richard and wave to Robin as the off-roaders gathered for their ride!Slight route change towards the end to avoid another group (couldn't see whose) and as if by magic we were back in the square having said goodbye to Karen at the bottom of Harcourt Road. Fingers crossed its sunshine all the way to the end of the season now! Thanks all for a cracking ride. | ||
