Thursday 20th September
Today our ride was to The Musgrave Arms in Shillington. Just four of us left Letchworth just before 11am. David R, Angie, Jackie & myself Geoff headed out on our usual route through Ickleford, Holwell & Pirton. Adrian met us as we rode out of Holwell & we arrived in Shillington some 15 minutes before opening time, so we took a loop around Shillington before arriving at the pub. Bridget arrived at the same time having driven there. After plenty of chatting & an excellent lunch we set off on our return. David R had already headed off for extra miles & the rest of us took the direct route back through Pirton where Adrian left us and then Holwell where Jackie lives. This just left Angie & myself Geoff to continue through to Ickleford & on to Letchworth. The weather was damp with a strong wind from the SW. Total distance of 22 miles from & to Letchworth at just under 12mph average.
