Such a shame we only had three riders tonight, because it was a lovely evening to be out!

Sunshine shone, the conversation flowed, and the anticipation built. Motorists on the hill were most considerate, pulling over to let us up easily, and one even offering encouragement on the steep bit by Dragon Hill. We all survived, Nick with a PB. He did look a bit wobbly-legged as he took pictures at the summit...

The ride back through the Vale was effortless, and the beautifully smooth tarmac through Knighton was most welcome. We were joined at the KAH by Mike F, continuing the sociable theme.
