cold
Report:
I was watching the weather forecast all week wondering if the ride could go ahead and was much encouraged by our forecast starting temperature going up from -1 deg C to zero and the onset of sleet being delayed to 18.00.

I was joined by a hardy, (should that be foolhardy??), group of 5 whose stoicism and good humour ensured the cold and at times icy ride was an enjoyable experience. We all agreed it was good to get out and enjoyed the cinnamon buns at Blakes, (despite having to sit outside).

Many thanks to the group for their unfailing positivity including such remarks as “At least it didn’t snow” and “Ooh, I think it’s brightening up”!
