Despite the forecast of rain there was a good turnout at the Market Cross for the first Monday rides of 2018. 9 hardy cyclists headed off down Long Lane with Stephen and Dave doing a good job taking the wind for the rest of us. The rain didn’t dampen spirits and it was good to catch up with faces not seen since last year and also get to know the the new ones.
Once safely along Dunswell Lane the train crossing at red provided a welcome break though Paul’s brakes certainly were trying to outmatch any locomotive!
Through Cottingham and up to Skidby the pace was steady but kept us all warm- the group then headed on up and over to Little Weighton. At this point the decision was made to head all the way up to the top and give us all some more “Hill practice “
After crossing the main road , it was a right turn down Littlewood road and a sprint into the wind for Home. The general consensus was to not partake in any liquid refreshment post ride – we will save that for a sunny evening. Sadly no photos this week – too wet for iPhones !!
