Eight riders.

No ride today

One of those rare days when there was continuous rain from early morning.  No ride.

The Wave again

A small group of regular riders on a second outing this week to the Wave at Earlswood, where we again sat in the garden.  Fine weather, and may blossom and cow parsley in the lanes at their best.
