It was a gloomy and cool evening, but that didn't deter 10 riders, including (welcome!) Carol, from turning up.

The traverse of the Spring Line was marked by a few impatient drivers with little regard to safety, but having huffed and puffed up the undulations, we settled into a more constant exertion as we dropped into the Vale.

The former level crossing and cattle bridge of Stainswick Lane was new to all bar the locals, and the remainder of the ride was at a very decent pace, and very sociable due to the double line.

The Fox, as ever, provided a very amenable location for post-ride cool down - a delightful evening on the velocipede!
