Thursday 15th Feb
Today our ride was to Great Offley. Six riders Paul, Mick, Jacky, George, Roy and myself Frank set out from Wetherspoons. The route taken was out through Gt Wymondley, Hitch Wood lane, Preston then Ley Green into Gt Offley.
We arrived at our lunch venue The Red Lion just after midday and found John, Adrian, Mick along with Bridget had already arrived. We also met with Geoff and Brian. This pub came up trumps with its selection food at a very reasonable prices. Plenty of chat about varied subjects before our ride back in the spring sunshine. John made his own way home while Adrian and Paul went for some extra miles while we returned via Preston and Little Almshoe route. The distance was just over 23 miles with a total climb of 1266ft, Avg speed 11.5 mph
It was a nice bright sunny day. We had a south westerly which aided our return journey a little but it was nice to be above 7deg C.
