We had fun yesterday!

The full ride reports & photos are here.

It was a good job there weren't many traffic lights on this route, as with 2 carbon, 2 titanium and 2 aluminium bikes, if there were any lights with magnetic sensors we would have been waiting a long time.

It was perfect weather, and when it clouded over, there was literally 2 raindrops, before the sun came out again. My cyclists tan is nicely topped up again.

Thanks again to everyone who came along, and I hope your legs aren't hurting too much.

My legs are certainly feeing it today!! I knew it was going to be a tough ride for me, we are on 14 mph average for the whole 80 odd miles with couple of big hills and countless ups'n downs, but it was very sought after route, beautiful country side, nice pub lunch, lots of flies, singing and giggling. Thank you so much FD and everyone else for a great company. see you all soon

Gutted I missed this one, couldn't believe it! Cleaned my bike up all nice and shiny, then mrs went down sick rather rapidly and I sat in my back garden watching the odd lancaster fly overhead with a tear in my eye, a beer in hand with the boys playing on the trampoline, non the wiser.

Looks like you had a great ride though.
