It was cool, with a hint of wind -
But we set out, in a sprawling fashion, those hardy
but eager cyclists.
The hills seemed a tad longer and steeper, the downs
not long enough.
Some rears were not quite toughened up to the task.
The sun shone, warming our bodies. Thank goodness no
rain or snow to dampen the spirits.
The Big Stop was accommodating. Coffee and food a
welcome respit.
After a quick photo or two, we set back, into the wind
which had picked up - it's one of those "laws" of
nature.
Was good to see some new faces join us - and a hearty
welcome to Perry Abriel with the most distinctive
helmet ever to grace our bike rides!
See you on the road....
