Evening! Yes, I had a great time, we were pretty lucky with the weather again (just the one shower on us on the way out).
Here we all are gathering for the ride back. Special thanks to Spandex for pulling a face:

Just outside Pocklington there was a shout from the back and while Helen, Spandex and I rode on to the turning ahead, Solty, Velocidad and Mike disappeared into a gateway. Having sent Spandex back to ascertain that this wasn't a communal pee-break, we returned to find that Soltydog had had a visit from the fairy:

I especially liked the casual way he hung his bike up to fix it:

It was a bit of a wrench passing the Balloon Tree cafe both ways, especially with the sign advertising Sunday Roasts. I'll swear the Galaxy twitched towards the gateway each time.
I'll have to give the bike a clean - it's picked up a fair few pine needles from the little bit of cycle track. Or leave them to dry and drop off, and then hoover them up....
As ever, great company, a nice ride, and good food. Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year!
