Riders:John TranterLindsey Barker Lorna Swanton Mila Yearley Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Tim Hoyle Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:A slightly dodgy weather forecast and a few spots of rain at the start failed to deter a great group, some drawn by their first time experiencing the delights of the Tubney tunnel. We had a few drizzly moments, but overall the weather was kind to us.This was a slightly A420-focussed ride, with four crossings in total, but we were using the best options and the traffic wasn't too bad, so all was well. Appleton Community Shop looked after us extremely well and the umbrella over the seating gave welcome shelter from a brief dizzy moment. A bit of a headwind back, but everyone coped well. In summary: 1* pace, 2* distance and 3* headwind! Thanks to everyone for a fun ride. | ||
