Nine at the square for the last Inters ride of 2016: Dave C, Ian H, Graham, Jon G, Rob M, Kev M, John B, Steen on a sabbatical from the Sunday crew and self.
Usual route to Galley Gap and thence Langton and across to Settrington bank. Ian, John, Graham and Jon turned for home via Malton, the remains went over the top and onwards to Ebberston and the steady climb up to Dalby Forest.
The track at the top was slightly sticky but no more than this and we were soon back on tarmac for the swooping decent to Dalby.
The south-westerly wind had got up a bit by now making progress a bit harder than expected but soon we arrived at Balderstone's in Thornton-le-Dale for a leisurely lunch.
On the way back the wind was still impeding rapid progress but with Rob leading the way we were soon at Amotherby Lane. Dave's legs were starting to feel the impact of the previous day's racketball session so he suggested the rest of us forge on. With Rob on the front taking the wind we had a good steady ride back home - I was home at 4.30 with a good solid 84 miles to round off the year.
Thanks to all for the company guys
