last Friday we had a fast ride out to the Chequers at Great Tey.  Barry hit a pothole on the way back and had to replace an inner tube, a video is available.

I had proposed a long ride to Manningtree this coming Friday but the weather is changing so the destination may change.

I went out with the Wednesday group last week with Barry leading us to The Barn, excellent cakes, Robin had two.

Fridays ride to Nayland took us on roads we had not cycled for over 2 years and an enjoyable lunch was had at The Anchor.

This Friday is Good Friday, if you want to ride will you please let me know and I will arrange one otherwise we will resume on the 26th April.

So on Friday I took the wrong turn to Walton and we ended up at Stratford St Mary to be disappointed that the sausage rolls were not ready I had to make do with an open Coronation chicken sandwich with a pint of Adnams Oyster.

This Friday if the weather is favourable we will venture to Nayland, please note a later start for this week only of 11:00 a,m.

The Friday B Group well 4 of us took the train and then did the 10 mile figure of eight ride finishing at The Plough, the weather was just about perfect.

Weather permitting we will meet as usual at 10:30 Friday and take the train to Walton then follow the coast route to Clacton returning via the same route.

Beth returns to Canada on Thursday and we wish her a safe journey, she and Ian will be back in the Fall.

Now the weather is warming I hope we will see more of you out with us on Fridays, the rides vary from 15 to 25 miles return trip from Leasureworld at a pace of between 9 to 12 mph.
