Two rides this morning; Sue with 9 riders left the clubhouse and collected another 5 riders including two new members (a welcome here to Gillie and Jack Williams) from Stoke Bruerne. This ride continued through Ashton, Bozenham Mill and Long street to the cafe at Salcey forest. Home via Hartwell, Ashton, Stoke Bruerne where some riders said their goodbyes, Blisworth, Tiffield, Caldecote, Duncote, Greens Norton and home with a distance covered of 28.5 miles.

The additional ride with 11 riders was led out by Mick H. The route out was via Shutlanger, Blisworth, Gayton, Bugbrooke, Nether Heyford, Brington and Long Buckby where we discovered that the cafe was closed due to an earlier fire. Luckily there was another cafe who were only too happy to see us. Home via Brington, Whilton and down the track to Brockhall. On to Flore and Stowe where Andy and Sue O., kindly treated us to refreshments. On again through Farthingstone and Litchborough. As we went through Greens Norton we noticed there was a village event with teas, so another stop for yet more cake. Finally home a bit later than planned but with 46 miles of calorie burning to counteract (hopefully) the cakes. Craig.
