Drinking a cuppa and getting warm by the fire, having recently returned from the local club run, although due to my tardiness we did the B and a half ride cos I couldn't quite keep up the pace!
They were very nice and encouraging but on a day like today it didn't seem fair to ask them to wait at the junctions for me so we left them at Inglewhite and met them at the cafe stop. A couple of miles into the return journey when I was tucked nicely into the pack I looked at TKP and realised something was missing.
He had managed to leave his helmet at the cafe stop so we left them and went back to collect it. Just as well really because my legs were useless on the way back
I will go again though, with skinny tyres and no luggage and a lot of determination
