Report:
We set off with 10, but Roger discovered a puncture before we got out of the car park. So then we were 9. We took the Spring Line road along to Ashbury into quite a strong headwind but it was pleasantly cooling as temperatures were above average. The Baking Bee cafe looked after us very well with food, drinks and good service. Not so many hills on the way back (in fact only downs) so we made good speed with the wind behind us.

A very good enjoyable ride with good company and no problems.
Distance:
40.00 km (24.85 mi)
