Gordon will ride from Middle Rasen! The route will be decided in the morning.
Wednesday 22nd November ……….. we have no lead, yet.
Gordon will be at J-bridge for 10am and, in the absence of Angela or an alternative lead, will stand in.
Gordon’s Wednesday ride will be to Walesby, Tealby, North Willingham, Little London and the Golf Club. Those with suitable bicycles can return through the woods, others by road. Just turn up.
Friday 24th November
We meet Gordon at Middle Rasen PO at 10am . On Fridays we will do a steady ride of at least 10 mph. That should keep us warm
The plan is to ride out to Spridlington and down to Welton to try what was the “Secret Garden” now it has been trading under different management for a year. We could make a longer ride out via West Rasen and Owmby by Spital or take s more direct route through Faldingworth. Decide on the morning !!!
Monday 27th November
Gordon will ride from Middle Rasen! The route will be decided in the morning.
Wednesday 29th November
Angela heads the ride from the bridge in Jameson Bridge Street (Market Rasen) at 10am. The ride is steady and can be modified on the day to take account of cyclist who may need a slower pace or are back in the saddle after a break.
The route will use local smaller “quieter” roads, go through local villages and pass chosen beauty spots. There will be a comfort break stop and an option to be refreshed

Angela writes ….
A small select group of 3 cyclists today for a ride to Rand. We chanced upon Daisy, Jemima and Buttercup ( 3 cows) wandering in the road past Legsby. Gordon tried his hand at cattle herding watched by E. Bob and I. Luckily we found the person who looks after them.

Friday 3rd November
The promised storm Ciarán was elsewhere when 6 of us, Gary, Steve, Wilf, Angela, Gordon and Martin Keen cycled north from Middle Rasen. We did have a steady breeze, but the largely blue skies provided very comfortable cycling.
From Kirkby we skirted the bumpy South Gullum road to North Owersby and after a short hop north we turned east across country to arrive at Hall Farm Park from the direction of Moortown.
After the break we rode south through Thornton le Moor to Osgodby and back to our individual starting points.
