The weather forecast turned out to be all too accurate. After the hottest day of the year yesterday, the four who turned up at Rowheath on Saturday surveyed the rain and decided to call off the ride.
The best weather so far this year. A warm and sunny day for a ride to Belbroughton, led by Richard, going out via a route where most of the hills were down. There were, of course, a few uphills coming back, but this route was an easier way round than the reverse would have been.
Ten riders.
