After a gentle ride last week, I decided to take up the invitation from long standing friends Graham and Neil for a leisurely Sunday morning cycle. I presented myself as instructed, expecting a gentle ride. It was an absolutely glorious spring day so we decided to cycle the 10 miles to a lovely pub (it was closed) by the river. This is a ride I have done many times but not quite the route we did today! Neil decided that he knew a track which would be nice to cycle - OK for him on his mountain bike! Not so OK for me on my road bike! My bicycle and I got covered in mud as we went through a farm, a field and finally a track! We passed 4 pubs, all closed, before arriving at the renowned Dinky's Diner for a mug of good strong tea! A lovely ride of exactly 23 miles. Both bicycle and I needed a good wash afterwards but I really enjoyed the company even if I was always bringing up the rear!
