sunny intervals
Report:
11 riders turned out, a little large for comfort in one group so we split 6 and 5 with JT leading the second group - thanks John!
A number of riders had not ridden any of the somewhat notorious Icknield Greenway. We rode part of this after (very fine) coffee at The Grocer Chef including the infamous Bridge of Doom, now much safer with a solid reincarnation of the previous very tricky brook crossing.
Whilst we had no mechanicals on the ride, a puncture prevented Susie T from joining us. 186m ascent.
We were joined by three riders at coffee.
Distance:
32.70 km (20.32 mi)
