Ride report
How unpredictable is our weather! A year ago, on this last Sunday of winter, we had to contend with the threat of snow and with a “feels like” temperature of minus 6 degrees. This year, we could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine at Waterperry Gardens. We were also fortunate to arrive before a motorcyclist group and 3 other cycling groups, all of whom joined the back of the queue. Nineteen of us (16 + 3 from Isis) set off from Broad Street following an interesting and typically meandering route out of the City. It wasn’t long before we stopped to stow away the winter jackets – but no one thought to bring sun cream 🙂
