Starbucks, Maypole

The weather forecast had warned of rain, but we weren't expecting quite what we got.  Two riders retired when we were caught in a violent hail squall in Stirchley.  The remaining six battled through continuous rain and a strong freezing wind in hopes of getting to Beckett's Farm.  This plan was abandoned in Yardley Wood in favour of a shorter route to Starbucks.  

Within a mile of home the rain stopped, the wind dropped and the sun came out.
