Two floods, three U turns, five riders. All we were missing was a partridge in a pear tree! All this and a bit of off road. I don't do many Saturday rides and that may be a relief to many! It was actually not a bad morning, no rain, light winds, mild just a bit soggy under wheel. Good group today but only five riders made it seem harder than it should but everyone put in some strong turns. The road was flooded to a considerable depth in the dip before Tollerton and we had no alternative but to double back to Shipton and across towards Wigginton hence the short cut to Huby. But from there we were on great roads around Crayke, Coxwold and Yearsley. This is my direction of choice for a three or four hour ride with plenty of options and a good line out is possible back from Sheriff. One to build into the training ride rota surely?
