Joint ride with Isis to coffee. Clocks forward today
Ride report
Not so many City riders out this Sunday – it’s good to see that many of our members dutifully opted to treat their mothers to lunch today. Benson Waterfront Café was full of people too busy to make their own breakfasts, enjoying eating out in the sunshine. As this was the last Sunday of the month, the Isis ladies group joined us for this ride, swelling our numbers to about 18 and requiring us to split into 2 separate groups. As we predicted, The Black Horse at Checkendon was frequented mainly by local mountain bikers. We looked positively effete by comparison.
