Steady Training Ride into autumn and winter.

Conditions were just about good enough for summer bikes last monday ….

…….which was a good job because my winter bike was in bits 🙄 and three of us rolled down Pexhill at 6:30 pm. Jo, Rich and yours truly did two minute turns at the pointy end which was also the windy end especially heading out into a fairly  stiff westerly.

Thanks to being forewarned by Mark B about fresh hedge  clippings on Pinfold Lane we changed the way back heading down the A50 a bit from Severn Sisters to the Whippings Stocks and through that way to Chelford Island. It was a tiny bit  shorter but the ride took a few minutes longer as average speed was down on those nicely tempoed chainy’s we do when we get a good turnout. Who cares if the average was down by 1mph though (not me) we had a good ride and kept the equal turns going, all helping, right the way back up Pexhill  to BX crossing the line together 🏁.

Henceforward the ride is not on the club calendar as a regular fixture but will happen as last winter arranged on our dedicated whats app chat group. The group is open to all members who are up for turning out over not so warm, sunny and fast season (not a (dare I say clique🙄) so if your up for it or you've done the ride and I’ve inadvertently left you off just let me know: fred.w@macclesfieldwheelers.org
