Report:
This was to be the last of the taster sessions. So, it was nice to have eight keen riders along with the perfect weather conditions to finish these series of rides on. A warm welcome to James and Joshua on there first ride. Also a pleasure to have Amy join us for her second ride. It was really a ride of two halves. We started the ride with sunny clear skies, by the time we reached the bottom of Old Street lights were required to complete the second half of the ride. Everyone rode really well and seemed to enjoy the ride. Many thanks to Roger for helping to lead and to James B, Simon, and Tim for sweeping when required. A nice ride with perfect company.

I would like to thank Jane John for sweeping on previous rides and for leading a lovely Sunday ride, much appreciated! Also many thanks to Pip for leading the August rides. These rides have been a great success and we are looking forward to starting these rides next spring, hopefully on a weekly basis. Watch this space!
Distance:
