  • About 40 out.  A few newcomers.  Good weather, tho a bit windy.  A fair amount of standing water but no rain.  Plenty of punctures.  Fairly slow service at both stops (no criticism intended – our groups just get bigger and bigger).  A fast outward bound … more ->

  • All today’s rides started off in either a north or north-easterly direction, with a following gale.  So it’s not difficult to imagine the conversations.  "It’s a fast ride today."  "Look, I’m travelling at 25mph without putting in any effort".  "This is a great ride."  "Yea, … more ->

  • Pretty scary to start with and a lot of care and attention was needed to circumvent the slippy bits.  Most succeeded in this respect.  But there’s always one or two!  The easy group (of 18) had a fairly uneventful, careful journey to Bishop’s Stortford, with … more ->

  • Brian may have seen the G in Wales, and that may or may not be better than Richard’s sighting of the Millerman in Spain but nothing can compare to Amanda getting close up and personal with the big Liggett at the exciting venue of Codicote … more ->
