Hope you all enjoyed the last weekend of winter?
Just the regulars for the Sunday ride. The wind howling down the Vale of Pickering, coupled with 50% of our peloton still a bit weak from the lurgy made us shorten the route. Steen had had a one-ride-stand with the A group a couple of months ago and learned of a lane out of Eberstone up to Dalby Forest Drive. This didn't save many miles, but detoured a few big hills. Sensible decision as we were all running on empty by the time we got back.

Spirograph on Sunday. More details to follow.

12 out on Saturday for the A ride to Thorpe Perrow. Tough cross wind early on meant a splits in the peloton towards Helperby. Ian W left us near Tollerton :?: and then Rich turned for home at Asenby. Just a few miles from the cafe a comical tumble for two of us myself and Dave C when slowly passing some horses down a narrow lane near snape everybody stopped and we we had a domino effect of touching wheels. I collided with Dave and lost my balance and hit the deck. No harm done for me but Dave s bike took the brunt with damaged rear mech which expired post cafe which meant Dave and Ian h rode home together. The remaining eight riders with a strong tail wind made brisk progress back to York albeit on a fairly flat ride. Should be out Saturday on the Spirograph ride. :D
