Weather:
mistcold
Report:
Considering how very cold and misty it was, the turnout for the January all-day ride was very gratifying. Think we were all looking to get out on our bikes following Christmas excess!

The mist started to clear once we were over the Ridgeway and approaching Hungerford, however the lack of mist in no way dented the cold :|

Lunch at Time at the Forge was a bit drawn out but gave us time to warmup and discuss strategies for keeping feet warm. Heated foot warmers were even ordered!.

It was definitely slightly warmer on the return along the spring line road. All-in-all a really splendid group to share a challenging ride with :)
Distance:
