February ride
Used the same route as January, not far from home because the weather was grey and murky although not cold at all. More fun than January because a friend came with me and we whizzed along talking non stop! Lovely cafe stop at Honey Street and then up and over the hill home for sofa time with the cats.
Total; 2 rides, 2 points!
