Thursday Social at Costa in Grove
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
11:00 am
Start Location:
Costa, Millbrook Square, Grove
Description:
The forecast for Thursday is for heavy rain, so no day for a group ride. Plan B is for a social gathering at Costa in Grove between 11 and 12. All welcome.
Riders:
Barry Stanton
David Bridge
Lorna Swanton
Richard Kidd
Roger Postbeschild
Steve Swanton
Susan Holdroyd
Riders = 7

Weather:
cloudy with heavy rain
Report:
It may still have been dry at 10 o'clock, but by 11 the rain was coming down steadily and had slowly become heavier by 12. Not a day for riding (and a good move to delay the 2* ride to Friday for those that can make it). Seven of our Thursday regulars joined for coffee/hot chocolate and convivial conversation in Costa.

No Thursday rides next week (it's Christmas Day) but both 1* and 2* rides are planned on New Year's Day, weather permitting. Do keep an eye out for ride details closer to the time.

Have a Merry Christmas and best wishes for safe and happy cycling to all our Thursday riders in 2026.
