Costa Coffee, city centre

Weather unexpectedly mild after ice and snow in the past few days.  Nine riders led by John B to Costa Coffee in the city centre.

Christmas lunch

Heavy snow last weekend, which caused disruption early in the week and made cycling impossible, had turned to ice on paths and in parks by today.  Sensibly, no-one risked riding to the Christmas lunch at the Toby Carvery at Cotteridge

Many thanks to Rose for photos.

No ride today

Very unusually, the weather was too bad for cycling.  A few of us gathered at Rowheath for coffee, but no-one ventured out on a bike.

Asda, Barnes Hill

Fourteen riders led by John P to Asda, Barnes Hill.  Weather damp, with heavy-ish drizzle for parts of the ride.
