A smaller crew than we've had for many a week- Chris H, Brian, Loren and Mick- set off under grey skies and in a blustery wind .
The route was something of a rag bag collection of sections from a several regular rides, but all in all it worked well: -
Flitwick-Tingrith-Harlington-Sharpenhoe- Barton- Higham Gobian-Shillington
-Gravenhurst- Clophill- Maulden- Ampthill.
The skies cleared and we rode most of the evening in bright sunshine; completing the 24 miles at an average of 14.6 mph- pretty respectable given the wind.
The Higham Gobian road was closed as a car was being rescued from the ditch but we managed to get round the police roadblock- Mick "charming" the WPC. (Couldn't quite hear what she was shouting!)
A couple of pints of Summer Breeze at the Stone Jug were followed by a mad dash back to the Old Sun for some excellent Adnams and sausage & chips.
A good evening despite the low turn out.
Club Colours
Does a proper shirt make us real cyclists?

Tour of Duty
Tom Park, son of CP & youngest club member, recently began his first tour of duty as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan. Tom is pictured above with his dad, Joe, Clive & Brian having been presented with a club shirt as a going away present. Potential members should not be put off by the thought that Tom sets the standard for fitness within the club, although a few (Blunty, Everton & Mark) could give him a run for his money. We all wish Tom well and look forward to riding with him again in the near future. (Is it me or is CP shrinking?)
