Reverse Route with the Old Gits 23

Chilly start to the morning.  The majority of the 14 riders this morning had made the transition from shorts to longer leg wear although by 10 o'clock I was glad that I  had  chosen to persevere with shorts.  Having said that, the fingers were certainly feeling the cold so must seek out some suitable gloves soon.  Met up at Knightstone at the  northern end of the prom and we went along the Toll Road, through Sand Bay and Wick St Lawrence to the tea stop at Caffles.

Waiting for the Stragglers

With group cycling here is always a gap between the speedy and the not so speedy.  Us Old Gits are mindful of the fact that someone disappearing off the back of the group may not be a lack of speed but could be anything from a puncture, a call of nature or a photo opportunity (not together of course)  so it is customary to pause for a short time at strategic points to ensure we are sill all together.  This one is on the A371 where it crosses over the M5. All present and correct at this point thankfully.

Finished off the morning in bright sunshine with another 23 miles to add to the log.
