Report:
A brief report! The weather was really kind to us. The temperature was 11c with cloudy sun, for December this is unusual. The ride was incident free, unfortunately we seemed to carry a head wind round with us for much of the ride which made hard work leading at times! I’m glad to report that everyone made it to the summit! We all enjoyed some delicious mulled wine & pies + a catch up with old friends. Thank you to Sharon for being secondary leader & to everyone for being such an amazing group to lead!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL !! CHEERS (beer)
Distance:
