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.
