Old Gits day today, doing the 'reverse route' to Caffles For a cup of tea. Left Weston and went on the Old Toll Road to Kewstoke and Sand Bay, through Wick St Lawrence to Hewish and the tea stop. A chilly old morning, had to put extra layers on. Hard to believe it was 20 degrees a few days ago.
Remembering Les
Les Wise was a very active cyclist with us Old Gits, that was, until he succumbed to cancer last year. He was well respected and a popular member of the group. His widow, Rosie, contacted us last week and offered to pay for our tea and cake today as it was Les' birthday this coming week. How could we refuse? This is us raising our cups to Les.
Went back to Weston via Puxton and Bawell. Noticed that complaints about mud on the road near Laurel Farm at Puxton had been heeded, with warning signs now covering the road before the problem. After three complaints, getting there, slowly. Clocked up 23 miles today with one incident; an Old Git was suddenly confronted with a choice of hitting an oncoming car after a bend on a narrow road, going into a deep pothole right near the road edge, or falling off into a hedge. He sensibly chose the latter and came out of it unscathed.
