Bright sunshirne and a heavy frost! Perhaps the mud will be frozen -
no
such luck!
Eighteen hardy riders departed from the Plough Car Park in Dormansland
on
route to Cowden in Kent.
This was a new route with a new leader and it offered a bit of
everything -
steep, loose slopes, think woodland, long downhills, fabulous
countryside,
mince pies and the promise of a tea stop next time!
An extra loop was tacked on the end but there was still time left for a
drink or two in the pub afterwards - much appreciated by the landlord,
who
is now clearly on our side.
No injuries, no punctures, only a broken chain, the repair of which was
closely assisted by a local horse - a good morning's ride.
Hopefully everyone enjoyed it and next time (if there is one??) I will
make
it a bit longer.
