Club run reports - 11th February

Cat 5/6 ride led by Mike East & John Farnham

A melange of category 6 and 5 riders, plus those who are doubtful, conglomerated at Allenbury's. All set off together for Something Lovely. As Puckeridge is only about 7 miles as the old A10 flies, the group followed a loopy course via Bakers End and Levens Green to arrive bang on time at the cafe. The downstairs toddlers' room was booked, accommodating the 15 riders exactly. Staff confirmed this was a record number of children in that room. Food and service was excellent.
After the break the category 5 leader didn't detect much enthusiasm for a longer second half, so the group stayed together, following another loop around Bury Green before heading south and south west to Ware. Welcome to Denis on his first ride. 33 miles, warmish when the clouds parted as long as one was not riding into the westerly.
