A good route, too, crossing the A420 twice without touching its tarmac.Good to see Tish out on her second ride with us.....apparently there will be more! The route had a mystery 5km still to do as we entered Grove, I have no idea where that came from, and I didn't seek it out. Thanks to Gareth for sweeping. | ||
