Cycle Ride 20th March

The Cycling Group went out on 20^th March for a trip organised by Heather our club leader. We met up at 10.00 just as the eclipse had come to fruition. What fantastic weather, a real sunny day you could even believe that Spring was here. The route ran from Bardney to Lincoln’s outskirts along an old railway line so the route was not a challenge as far as hills were concerned. It was originally thought that a number of people would cut the 8 mile ride short whereas only 2 people decided to call it a day after an intended stop for a coffee in a pub just off the track. Sadly we were all too early for the pub opening time so pressed on to Lincoln. It was really not a strenuous cycle I think many of our number were surprised when the cathedral’s silhouetted towers appeared in front of us.

After a climb to the top of a small viewing tower most of us decided to return to Bardney for lunch and a drink. A very pleasant ride back to Bardney with the canal one side and the river the other. The cafe was inexpensive and although it seemed unused to the volume of customers were friendly and swift with their service.

Thank you Heather for another successful Friday (Jane McCarthy)
