The new MCCC coffee wagon is finally revealed!
Eight riders, well over a third of our membership, gathered this morning at our usual muster point in brilliant sunshine, by which time the odd patch of ice here and there had already melted away.
It was good to see that our latest recruit Gary from
Crudwell, had returned, even if it did cost me the price of a cup of coffee, as
I had promised.
We seem to have cracked the tricky issue of getting two
groups to the same location at around the same time. Our port of call was to be Lyndsey’s (formerly
the Two Toads) in Tetbury. Most of us, including myself, took Jim’s longer route
whilst the others followed a more direct path.
With some members planning to take part in the Reliability
Ride the following day, no one wanted to force things too much and so we soon
settled into a fairly relaxed pace.
We rode out to Sherston , up through Knockdown to Leighterton
and then across to Tetbury. Some of these roads were new to me and so made
something of a pleasant change.
Amazingly, demonstrating
the sort of timing Len Goodman from BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing would score
highly, the two groups managed to merge seamlessly
just around the corner from the café.
After an enjoyable cup of coffee we remounted and once again
went our separate ways.
Continuing with
Jim’s course we cycled north up to Cherrington before turning for home via Oaksey
and Charlton.
