Report:What a lovely relaxed ride!A nice select little group of five of us, set out, armed with layers, although it was not too long before layers were shed as the weather still very mild - that lovely time of year when we no longer expect good weather but sometimes get it.... and the rain held off. A good pace was set on what was a fairly flat ride - of the climbs - three I think - two of them were for bridges! A lovely laid back tea stop (eg some of the "tea" was amber in colour and came in pints..) was had at the Lamb & Flag, before the "descent" towards Charney Bassett (OK a slight down hill but enough to enjoy!) then back at Grove before 4pm. Enjoyed today - thanks all for your company. | ||
