Wednesday 30/7/25 Earlswood Garden Centre

Today's ride was led by Richard Otteridge owing to Richard's bike being unexpectedly off the road. It was an "abnormal" route, but avoided  Weatheroak Hill and took in some climbs on Icknield Street. The return route was not exactly strictly adhered to: some of the group went one way  back to get home sooner and some went another. Warmer and drier than expected. Twelve out today. the route is here
