For the regular ride, Alan led a group of nine to Woodgate Valley.  Thanks to Alan for recording the route, which is here.  

Maypole

Seventeen riders to Maypole.  We didn't have the gales of Storm Doris on Thursday, but it was still very windy and there were fallen branches in the lanes.  Dry, though, and not cold.

The route is here.
