Old Gits out on a frosty morning. 21

 Out with the Old Gits on a reverse route run to Caffles garden centre.     7
Started today from Knightstone to be joined later at the Caffles garden centre by several others who were wary about the road conditions.  There was also a couple with  long term sick notes.  The register was marked accordingly.  There was one casualty after we went through Sand Bay, a slip on the camber of an icy patch but thankfully the bike was not damaged.  Oh, and the rider was OK as well.  Overall it was a chilly old day but once again, layers worked.


Big Al

One of the walking wounded, recovering from an leg operation, he made it to Caffles and made himself comfortable with a foot stool, blanket and a loan of an elf hat.  In good spirits, it was good to see him recovering well.


Tea and toast

Amongst other fare.  They do a good bacon sandwich at Caffles together with some excellent home made cakes.  I can recommend the apple cake.


A good ride, conditions could have been worse but with just the one icy patch, we were quite lucky.  21 miles covered today.
