Report:
Probably the best day of the week, weather wise, dry with a light southerly wind.
Good to see returns, after injuries and ailments, of Joy, David J and Peter.
A wonderfully uneventful ride, we sat inside at Bloomfields as the outside seats were still soggy from yesterday's rain.
There were a few grumbles about leaving the bikes outside, we may try putting them in 'the garden' next time!
Some slight wind assistance on the return trip was most welcome.
Distance:
45.00 km (27.96 mi)
